Windows 10: How do I remove a keyboard layout I installed from the internet?

I had downloaded an Esperanto keyboard layout as I am learning the language, but I have decided that I don't need it anymore. I couldn't find any way to uninstall it from my computer.

how to remove keyboard layout on Windows 10?

Hi Eric,



We regret the inconvenience caused.



The above issue might occur due to the following reasons:

• Country & Region settings not enabling you to delete the keyboard language set on the PC.
• Not choosing appropriate default keyboard layout.

Before we assist you further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

• Did you try removing the keyboard layouts from Settings page?
• If yes, does the issue persists even after removing the keyboard layout?

By removing the Keyboard layout from system Settings page, the language will be removed from the PC. However, if needed, you can download the same from system
Settings page and check if the changes made are effective.



You can remove the keyboard layout either from system Settings page or
Control panel. Follow either of the steps below to remove the keyboard layout and check if the issue is resolved.



Step 1: System Settings window.

• Press Windows logo + I keys on the keyboard to open
  Settings page.
• Click on Time & language from the options and select
  Region & language from the left side panel of the window.
• Click on the keyboard language you want to remove under Languages and click on
  Remove.
• Close the window and check if the changes are effective.

Step 2: Control panel.

• Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard and click on
  Control panel from the context menu.
• Click on View by option located at the top right corner of the window and select
  Large icons from the dropdown bar.
• From the panel, click on Language.
• Under Change your language preferences click on the keyboard layout to remove and click on the
  Remove button which will now be available to use.
• Close the window and check if the changes are effective.

Write to us with the status of the issue on the keyboard layout language removed from the PC for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



Thank you.

 

Can't (completely) remove language keyboard layout


Yup, no such luck. My next step will be to temporarily install another language as the system language (like English UK or something), and remove US English as the default language and the keyboard, and everything, and then reboot and install it again and see if that does anything....

But I am betting it won't. And my reason is because when I was inspired to make my own keyboard layout I downloaded one another person had made, whidch was based on English UK keyboard, and it did not work correctly for me so I uninstalled it (and have since improved, I think, upon what he had done,) and I just now realized that that keyboard, which was under English language and keyboard, is still in my list as well. When I had installed it then UK English had become one of the available languages, and I have since removed it from being active and so forht. So, basically I did to UK English what I am propsing to do for US English... and yet that old keyboard layout remains.

There has to be somewhere that Windows keeps references all the different keyboard layouts available for the different language packs installed.... The question is where is that and how to modify it?
