Does anybody know the "proper" way of pitching the ton of un-necessary language directories in the System32 directory. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to need anything the likes of Estonian.

What's your reason for wanting to remove them?
Disk space?
Performance?
Security?

Letz say that I'm just a neat freak. Something that I know will not be used I prefer to remove, trash, throw away, or hide in a deeper closet.

Thanks for the suggestions, but this unfortuanately only suggests English, the desired single language I wish to keep, as the only language eligible for deletion.

Guess I'll have to prowl around more.

I was thinking "Maybe decrease backup time" ?

But...

1) These folders are a couple KB in size.

2) Backup to disk (or even network) is fast enough so it probably wouldn't matter.

But it's true that there's a ton of stuff in there you'll never need.
