See Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows 7 and later - Apple Support to remove the application and supporting software and Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support to remove any iOS device backups. You might also want to remove/move the iTunes library which would normally be in your user's music folder.


Should you want to use iTunes see Make a split library portable - Apple Community for advice on storing the library and backup data on a different drive.
