To remove Windows, you basically reformat the partition it's on. There
is no way to get rid of Windows without also removing any data in that
partition (which generally includes your My Documents).

In Ubuntu, go Applications->System->Partition Editor and use this to
delete the Windows partition. It will be an NTFS partition, which is
usually enough to identify it. If you have more than one partition
available to Windows, you'll likely have more than one NTFS partition,
and if you can explain to use the layout of these we can help identify
which one's got Windows on it.

To make use of the freed space, you will generally want to boot into
the LiveCD and resize the Ubuntu partition(s). You cannot resize a
mounted partition, so can't do this while Ubuntu is running. Again, we
can give more detailled advice if you give us more detailed information
(about how much space you have and want, for example).
