Windows 10: Remove language features?

Hi!
So I wanted to free up some disk space on my PC, and found out, there are some features of English UK language.
I'm using the English US both as my display language, and the keyboard layout.



I'm 100% sure, that I don't need such additions. Anyway, when I wanted to remove them, i got redirected to Time & Language > Language, and when i got here, i got really confused on what to do. I've also noticed, that the language "English UK" is present on the Display Languages list, and not elsewhere. I'd really like to make my boss happy, and remove these features.

I've also tried a solution with Powershell as mentioned here, but the Powershell just lists Eng-US and Polish my input languages so I don't think i can remove the UK one from there.

Cannot remove languages from Optional Features

Hi, all,

I have a Windows 10 (went through all of the Insider builds) and have a dozen languages that ended up in Optional Features (without my knowledge) that cannot be removed. Those languages (Chinese, Swedish, etc.) have only "Manage" button which does nothing.
In Control Panel -> Languages I have only English and Bulgarian.

I see that there are two places for language packs to install - System32 and SysWOW64. The contents of SysWOW64 is what corresponds to the list in Settins -> System -> Apps & Features -> Optional Features.

I've read on other forums that there was a bug around builds 1004x that could lead to large install times and the addition of many LPK (language packs). And indeed, my RTM install took a good whole night to complete.

So far I have:

• used Lpksetup /u and uninstalled everything there but English. This removed only the languages from System32 but had no effect on SysWOW64 and what is listed in Optional Features.
• have added the languages listed in Optional Features in Control Panel -> Languages so that I can uninstall the language packs from there, but the option available is to Download and install the pack and not to uninstall it
• With #2 in mind, I have downloaded the corresponding language pack in Control Panel -> Languages and have then uninstalled it - Optional Features still list it

How can I remove those languages?
