'Should I backup my htdocs content before xampp reinstall?

I am using xampp 5.6.3. Now I am planning to install xampp 5.6.14. And I have many projects in my htdocs folder. If I reinstall xampp, will it contents inside htdocs remain or will they be overwritten? Is there any way to reinstall xampp and keep my projects safe?

UPDATE

All project related databases are inmysql. Will those things get deleted too?

The "answer" you point to for advice on reinstalling xampp goes here:

"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /f/viewtopic.php on this server."

Everything about apachefriends and xampp forums is "forbidden", no help anywhere.
