Windows 10: Installed Huge Font Collection - Can't Remove Tried Everything

I've made an epic mistake, and installed 30,000 third party fonts.
They installed fine, but no matter what I do I cannot even delete one of them.

I've tried Font Settings in Control Panel, tried restoring to default (doesn't do anything),
and downloaded numerous font managers, which see the fonts, but won't let me delete them.

I've also tried gaining access to the folder directly, but there is no security tab on the files or folder.
I'm at my wits end here, I really do not wish to wipe the OS and have to reconfigure and reinstall the dozens of apps I have. This is a studio PC, and has been set up painstakingly.
Any help would be appreciated.

:)

How to Hide Fonts


Can you name some other 3rd party solutions because I can't seem to find any that actually hides the fonts from appearing in applications like Microsoft Word. It's so annoying to have this huge long list.

I've tried NexusFont as it's one of the more popular programs and it does not hide the fonts that I do not want in Microsoft Word. It's still there. Nexus font simply categorizes all the fonts that you have. It's a little annoying because if you want to use it, Nexus Font takes a while to load.
