You cannot "uninstall" your operating system.
If you upgraded from an older version to Me, you would have had to specify that you wanted to be able to uninstall Me, and agree to the extra disk space that would be required.

You should start by backing up all data files and user settings.
Then, format the hard drive;
Install the operating system of choice;
Copy your data files back onto the drive;
Install your applications.

May I ask why you wish to remove Me, and waht you plan to install in it's place?

This could help get you a better answer.
