If I uninstall iTunes on my desktop pc will it delete everything?

Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes won't fix a corrupt backup set. See Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support in case what you actually need to do is remove your existing backups and reclaim the space. See also How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support and backup to both your computer and iCloud if possible to add some resilience should something go wrong again in future.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. When reinstalling right click on the downloaded setup file and use run as administrator. It may also help to temporarily disable any non-Microsoft anti-virus.

Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.

The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, or want to revert to an older version if the current one won't work properly for you at the moment. Links to the most recent builds are now at the bottom of the page.

Your library and device backups should be unaffected by these steps but there are links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
