You cannot safely remove Fedora just by deleting / formatting its partition from Windows. The Fedora partition contains the boot menu that allows you to choose between Windows and Fedora on startup. If you delete the Fedora partition, Windows will become unbootable.
You need to boot from a Windows CD / DVD. On Windows 2000 and XP, choose the Recovery Console option, and "fixmbr." On Windows Vista, choose the option to repair Windows, and tell it to search for problems that might prevent Windows from starting. It should detect that the Windows bootloader has been overwritten, and will replace it. Reboot your computer. If the "repair" was succesful, you should not see the GRUB boot menu anymore, and it will boot straight into Windows. Now you can delete the Fedora partition. It would be better to use a third-party partitioning tool, though, one that can also resize partitions, so your XP partition can be expanded to fill the space left by Fedora.
