I've uninstalled Ubuntu. Yet it works and every time I switch on the computer I get to choose between windows and ubuntu. Is formatting my disk the only option I have?

You want to restore the master boot record, which will mean you lose the grub boot manager which is what you are seeing.

Using a Windows 7 disk, go to repair option. Open command prompt.

Run:

bootrec/fixmbr
bootrec/fixboot

Restart (don't forget to remove Windows 7 disk!!!). Done.

This basically removes GRUB, the default bootmanager that is installed with Ubuntu to manage dual-boot. Uninstalling Ubuntu removes the OS, not bootmanager, and if you forcibly remove GRUB, your system won't boot. The above method should work for you.
