To "uninstall" Windows, simply format its partition. You can use various tools for that. Probably gparted would be easiest for you.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to copy the data which you want to preserve. Userspace by default is located in C:\Users\<Username>.

Afterwards, it is as simple as running # update-grub. Your other partitions will not be affected, however you need to make sure to mount them. This may include editing the /etc/fstab file accordingly. Linux will have no problem with NTFS (assuming that's the filesystem you use).
