title: Cygwin Openssl uninstall
body: <p>I'm a complete newbie on cygwin, it was placed on our server to configure ssh or openssl, not by me :-) .</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>server: windows 2003 SP2</p></li>
  <li><p>cygwin: (cannot find version, but it says GNU bash, version 4.1.10(4)-release (i686-pc-cygwin))</p></li>
  <li><p>OpenSSL-Win32: version 1.0.2a</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>In the cygwin terminal I see two things that disturb and confuse me:
  If I open the cygwin terminal I can type</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;$ openssl    
  &gt;cygwin warning: MS-DOS style path detected: C:\OpenSSL-Win32\bin\openssl.cfg ...(etc)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So the cygwin can see the other openssl install. I would be happy with that if I would not get the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;OpenSSL&gt; version    
  &gt;OpenSSL 0.9.8t 18 Jan 2012
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, there seems to be be 2 versions of openssl installed, even though I think that this 0.9.8t version doesn't seem to do anything.</p>
  
  <p>How do I uninstall this openSSL version?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
