boot - erase ubuntu and reinstall will it affect windows and other windows partitions

My question is, is this feature is safe to use? because i don't want to lose any windows files and other NTFS partitions on the hard-disk. Please eliminate my confusion.


Note as that i dont need any files or media which are in the ubuntu partition, Thanks.
