uninstalling does not remove the profile, and you will be passing on your personal mail calendar etc.

Windows key +R Type %appdata% and press enter. delete the Thunderbird folder shown in the appdata folder.

That removes all accounts passwords, settings and data. If you launch Thunderbird after doing it you will be asked to set it up exactly as if it were a new install.
