Can you add content of the `chocolatey.log` file? – agabrys Oct 07 '17 at 06:01

I used --force and it went away.
choco uninstall cyg-get --force

5That typically does it, you can also add `-n` to ensure it doesn't run scripts. If all else fails, head to `$env:ChocolateyInstall\lib` and remove the folder for the package. – ferventcoder Oct 16 '17 at 18:22

@ferventcoder I did try `-n` but that didn't help. I see that I didn't copy that in the question. I also tried another longer `--` option it suggested that I can't remember. I believe I did try to delete a folder in a Chocolatey folder, but when I ran `upgrade all` it added it back. – Chloe Oct 16 '17 at 18:46

It means that there was possibly an older lingering version still sitting around that needed to also be removed. – ferventcoder Oct 16 '17 at 22:37

For me the package was broken, an error when running choco uninstall --force so I uninstalled the old fashioned way and then ran choco uninstall so it removes the reference and doesn't try to upgrade it on the next run
