Remove is probably through Control Panel, Programs. Removing OpenOffice will not interfere with the files it has generated - they are stored on a different area of the disk.

Have you rebooted your computer? I don't use current Windows, so cannot help further from personal experience.

Sounds like some of the Windows Registry entries were not removed when you uninstalled.
A reboot should resolve these, and if not, there are several programs for verifying the Windows registry.
