After looking into the script I realized that if you uninstall ionFiles it will remove your tables. If you edit the file at:

administrator/components/com_ionfiles/ionfiles_install.xml

and remove these lines:

<uninstall>
        <queries>
            <query>DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `#__ionfile_downloads_log`;</query>
            <query>DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `#__ionfile_conf`;</query>
            <query>DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `#__ionfile_categories`;</query>
            <query>DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `#__ionfile`;</query>
        </queries>
    </uninstall>

it will not remove your table when you uninstall. I've attached an upgrade script for after you uninstall. Also, you may want to backup your database just in case.
