Can I delete my Quicken program and reinstall it without losing data?

I have bugs in the category and tag processes and the the first Validate and Repair made things worse. I reloaded a backup version and Validated. It says a problem with the category list or file was repaired - but it isn't.

Validate and Repair does not detect or correct all forms of Quicken file corruption. If you haven't already, I suggest you attempt to locate a good Quicken file backup.0

To answer your original question, the data is in the data file, so as long as you have a copy or backup of it, your data is safe and you can un-install and re-install the program without fear of losing your data. The un-install does NOT delete the data file.
