Try with a Virtual Machine or dual boot on another computer in-case that you're not known with the platform.
I've never thought of deleting BackTrack from my computer, so I can't say that I know how to do. But I believe that you should go ahead and re-install your operating system.

Hi!
Make sure that you WiFi adapter is supported by BT.
To remove, just format the partition where BT is I guess... then simply edit GRUB and ur done =)
Staff will never ever ask you for your personal information.
We know everything about you anyway.

BT is recognizing all the wifi networks but is not connnecting to them i.e why i want to remove it. Windows is not showing the partition used by BT.

When BT is trying to connect to the networks - Lets assume it is a WPA-PASSPHRASE protected access-point - You have to go to (if your using BT5) Applications>Internet>Wicd Network Manager - now under each bssid you will see 2 options "Connect" and "Properties" click Properties - Go to where it says "Use Encryption" under this option is a drop-down menu Choose whichever security it relevant to the access-point you are trying to connect to and fill out the required field in the "KEY" section located underneath.
If the access-point is OPEN then you can just press Connect.
It took me along while to get used to BT but i'm glad i persevered.
Be careful of just formatting the partition where BT is located because s when you reboot it could just say ---GRUB ERROR--- and you'll not be able to Boot into windows either (you can edit Grub, but i have no idea how this is done, maybe i'll learn)
IF IGNORANCE IS BLISS, I'D PREFER TO SUFFER

I dont know as much as you know but i tried formatting the system reserved partition after formatting bt5 partition and voila it worked out. I think grub was stored in the system reserved partition so when i formatted the partition it got removed. I dont know if your systems are using system reserved(OEM) partions but my system does so its worth a try. I used win7 disk to do it...
