If you're using a LiveCD, why does it matter what's on your hard drive?
 Anyway, it's meaningless to talk of uninstalling your OS.  You need to
replace it with something; any OS installer these days can reformat your
drive.  If you insist on "uninstalling it" you can do it in qtparted (on
Kubuntu LiveCD).  Just right-click the partition, and click Format, then
okay.  Restart.
