1)Backup your wallet.dat first.
2) go to %appdata% and move everything to an external HDD
3) if you installed your bitcoinQT by installer, go to C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\uninstall.exe to uninstall it
4) go to %appdata% to check if your bitcoin folder still exist, if yes, delete it.
If you do not plan to move the whole bitcoin folder to an external HDD, ignore step 2
