Mixing
reset cygwin environment like it first run
to be clear, I am not talking about how to reset terminal characters of cygwin.
what I would like to achieve is, how to re-run cygwin as "First run".
background: I accidentally delete all my home directory files, so all profiles are gone.
I would like cygwin re-generate/re-initialize it again for me like its "First run / Fresh start"
thanks

if the directory of your home (/home/your-user-name) is missing the startup script will recreate it and copied the default files again.

thanks @matzeri for the trick. that's definitely works!
so, to re-initialize my cygwin like first-run, what I do is:
username@computername ~
$ pwd
/home/username
username@computername ~
$ cd /home
username@computername ~
$ mv username username-old
username@computername ~
$ exit
exit all cygwin terminal, and run the cygwin again from start menu. your will see following output means your profiles is re-created again.
These files are for the users to personalise their cygwin experience.
They will never be overwritten nor automatically updated.
'./.bashrc' -> '/home/username//.bashrc'
'./.bash_profile' -> '/home/username//.bash_profile'
'./.inputrc' -> '/home/username//.inputrc'
'./.profile' -> '/home/username//.profile'
restore my working data:
username@computername ~
$ cd /home
username@computername ~
$ ls
username username-old
username@computername ~
$ mv username-old/mydata username/
