I don't know how this works with 2.0 betas, but if my memories from
various upgrades don't fail me, then at least up to 1.1.3 the uninstall
routine contained an explicit question if you wanted to delete **all**
your files--explaining that this referred to the files you had created
with OOo. If you answered "no" you would keep these files, if you
answered "yes" they were history.
