The best way to do this is to launch Cygwin's 'setup' application and
remove any packages that you don't need. Deleting any 'debuginfo'
packages that you don't need will recover the most drive space, without
affecting functionality too much.

It's better to remove packages using Cygwin's 'setup' rather than
arbitrarily deleting files...
