Hello, please foregive a newbie question.
I thought I figured out how to do this, but... although I removed all languages but english and swedish I get a sourcesfolder full of languagefolders. How do I get rid of them? And, yes, it´s worth to buy the NTLite. I did!

You can remove it manually. Another option is removing Manual setup component, but you will be able to install system only using clean install through booting. I personaly installing system only using booting method as it's best and perfect method
 
For me, 3 years after the OP, unchecking Components > Localization > Languages removed all the extra language folders.

For me, they were added by KB5046905 - Setup Dynamic Update that I integrated -- which I am told is not integrated into any .wim file, but instead extracted directly into the /sources directory.

Setup DU (when correctly applied) updates boot.wim, install.wim, WinRE (hidden inside of install.wim) and the ISO's sources folder.
Here's the ugly chart which demonstrates how much work is involved:

Update Windows installation media
TaskWinRE (winre.wim)Operating system (install.wim)WinPE (boot.wim)New media
Add servicing stack Dynamic Update1917
Add language pack21018
Add localized optional packages319
Add font support420
Add text-to-speech521
Update Lang.ini22
Add Features on Demand11
Add Safe OS Dynamic Update6
Add Setup Dynamic Update26
Add setup.exe and setuphost.exe from WinPE27
Add boot manager from WinPE28
Add latest cumulative update1223
Clean up the image71324
Add Optional Components14
Add .NET and .NET cumulative updates15
Export image81625

Removing the Manual Setup component will remove all those resource files used for an in-place upgrade.
WinPE is self-contained inside boot.wim.
