I won't understand why you needed to do it, but on the question " Is it possible to remove Windows?"I will answer in the affirmative.

I warn you in advance that if you want to just remove windows folder And Program Files, and so it will not be right!
The correct deletion of the Windows operating system is that you need to format the disk () with the system installed on it.
The fact is that if this is not done, there may be such situations in the future that there will be OS conflicts. For example, keys will conflict.

Therefore, before proceeding, make sure to save all important files and data by another section local disk or on external.

This instruction can be divided as it were for two subcategories: when you have an operating system on a single section of the disk () and when there is another local disk with data and without OS.

If you are loaded under the boot disk (Live CD), then format the section using standard tools Windows (reference above is given) from under the loaded OS.
If you are loading with installation disk, there will be such a window, with a choice of disk where to install Windows. Here in it and you need to choose Formatting:
