Windows 10: I downloaded a language pack, then deleted it. But it did not give my storage back.

I downloaded Spanish language pack with all extras on my Win11 laptop. Then I realized it took 3GB and I wanted to remove it. After removing it, it only gives me 1.5GB back. How can I delete the rest hidden language files?

Hi Ashish,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Please share the below information to help you better.

• When you say Language pack it not downloading, do you receive any error message?
• If yes, what is the error message?

There are few languages that windows 10 has pre installed in the system itself, I suggest that you check these languages and locate the language that you want to install. Follow the steps below to locate the language.

• Click on the Start Menu, locate and select Settings.
• Click on Time and Language.
• Locate and select Region and Language.
• Click on Add a Language.

If you cannot find the language there you can download a language pack for Windows 10 from the link below:
