Deleting office

[PowerBattery]

I have used the search function and I have scrolled several pages in search of an answer, but a came up with nothing. Here's my situation. I installed Word 2010 on a refurbished computer. Then I saw that MS Office was also on the computer, so I tried to install that too because of the many functions of the program. Now, whenever I open Word, Office tries to launch and install, then fails. I want to stop this. If i uninstall Office, will I lose my Word 2010 files?

By default Word uses the Documents folder in C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\Documents, they usually don't get touched when uninstalling the program that created them, are stored there. Other programs will use or can be set to use appropriate folders in the same location.

A tip: the folders listed above This PC are shortcuts to those folders in C:\Users.
