Uninstall then Reinstall itunes--Will I lose my iphone backup files?

My "other" capacity on my iphone ballooned to 8.88GB's (a currupt file I guess).

To fix it, I sync'ed my iphone with itunes, restored it to factory setting successfully, and now there seems to be no way to restore to MY previous settings. The iphone works, but the itunes screen will not change when I click on the phone on the left to allow me to sync it or anything now.
If I uninstall/reinstall itunes will it keep all my data and allow me to get to my backup to restore the phone?

Basically, my phone is now restored to my factory settings, and my itunes is not working correctly so I can't access my backup files.

Any suggestions?

Win XP
iphone software 2.01 (I think)
Itunes 8.1
