I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 8 on my system (dual boot), Everything was working fine until graphical interface of Ubuntu crashes after updating it to 14.04.2 (unity fails to start after booting). Now i want to reinstall Ubuntu but i am a little worry that it might clean my windows data. Is it possible to safely remove and reinstall Ubuntu without affecting Windows 8 files?

I will appreciate it if you explain what is the safest method.

Make sure you choose the previous Ubuntu installation partition. partition
Select it as 'ext4 journaling file system'
Make sure your partition labeled windows is marked as 'not used'
