I want to delete mozilla from one computer and remove my profile account so that all of my data on this computer (bookmarks, themes addons, passwords, etc) is deleted. But I use the same profile in mozilla on another computer and I don`t know if my profile will keep the data stored on this computer after deleting it in the other one. Any help is much appreciated!

Step one: Shut down sync on that device and remove that device from the sync list (from another device). Then you can do what you want.

Note that Firefox may know that data is coming from another device, so best is always to backup your personal data locally to ensure that you do not lose it.
