Those do look like they are related to other languages. Do you need the language support in Windows?

If you don't need them, have you tried uninstalling them from the Control Panel? Try looking under "Regional Options"
Also, what are in these folders? |

RE doctorgonzo comment about unknown files
I looked under regional settings and there are a lot of countries listed beside the USA !!!
That's just it. These files are "jibberish". I'll go into a folder and open a file - but it means nothing to me !!! |

What kind of files are they? Are they programs, text files, or what?
You should be able to remove the other countries that you don't need. That may take care of it. |

OK. Thanks for your help. The files are all "lanugage support files" that I downloaded when I performed a Windows Update. I really don't need them. So, I'll delete them in the Control Panel.
