I set up several sites under the same Drupal Install (What neat is this!)
One of the site needs very few functions,, so I disabled all the unneeded modules.
Now, should I Uninstall these modules? If I do this, is there any risk this will really disable/uninstall these modules for all web sites under the commun Drupal Install?
Said another way: Does the Uninstall process only clean up the database for the given site, or does it also remove the module files as well?
Thanks for help

If you mean the 'uninstall'
If you mean the 'uninstall' tab, it only cleans up the db-- it doesn't touch the files.

Yes, that's what was I meant
Thank you, it was my understanding - consistent with Drupal install philosophy, but at the odd with common practices...
(when I uninstall a software, this generally erases program files, but keeps data...)

as long as you don't delete the files
As long as you don't delete the files (they should be under sites/all/modules, right?) you're golden.
Having said that, it is always a good idea to make backups of your files and your databases before you try anything like this. You should not have problems, but you want to have backups just in case you do run into something.
