Windows 10: Why are there four language options on my taskbar when there are two in the settings?

I tried different things to remove the excess languages but I just added an extra in my last attempt, so if someone could help me I would really appreciate it

Typing ROMAJI and have KATAKANA - Japanese language

Hi Jane,

I suggest you to follow the below steps to change the language settings, so that the language icon will be displayed on the taskbar:

• Press ‘Windows+X’, click ‘Control Panel’.
• Click on ‘Languages’ and on the left side go to
  ‘Advanced settings’.
• Under ‘Switching input methods’, check the option
  ‘Use desktop language bar when it is available’.
• Click on ‘Save’ and check in the ‘Taskbar’
  whether the language icon is visible or not.

Please get back to us with an update on this issue, we will be happy to assist you further.

Thank you

 

Extra language bar appearing in taskbar

I often switch between languages while typing, so I always set the language bar to be visible and floating on the desktop. This makes it more convenient to change language options while working, and saves space on the taskbar. But recently an extra language bar has appeared in the taskbar:




This wastes space on the taskbar. I would rather use that space to display other things. I only want the floating language bar, but I can't find settings anywhere to remove the taskbar langage display.
If I minimize the floating language bar, I end up with both language bars on the taskbar:


Any suggestions?

This is Windows 10 64-bit. I just installed Cumulative Update 1803, but this problem has existed for at least a few weeks.
