Language file killer

Post by ErikJan »

Looking for a tool that deletes all the languages that many tools always install. My systems are English, I don't need thousands of files and dozens of folders. Something like CCLeaner or BleachBit. Anyone who knows if this exists? Can't be that difficult to make a tool like this I guess.

What benefit would this have? Most computers have plenty of disk space compared to the size of a few language files. Removing these files is likely to cause all sorts of problems later, when patches are released, or you try to deinstall things.

There's many utilities I use that are not installed (but just copied onto my device; and even with installers, I doubt if something would break) that have many small files all related to other languages. It's not about disk space, but efficiency and speed. I backup the files, synchronize on my USB drive etc. It's just a waste. Everyone would be free to use obviously, I was merely asking if someone has ever made something like this...
