Language folders in "sources"

[Sweden10]

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

Task	WinRE (winre.wim)	Operating system (install.wim)	WinPE (boot.wim)	New media
Add servicing stack Dynamic Update	1	9	17
Add language pack	2	10	18
Add localized optional packages	3		19
Add font support	4		20
Add text-to-speech	5		21
Update Lang.ini			22
Add Features on Demand		11
Add Safe OS Dynamic Update	6
Add Setup Dynamic Update				26
Add setup.exe and setuphost.exe from WinPE				27
Add boot manager from WinPE				28
Add latest cumulative update		12	23
Clean up the image	7	13	24
Add Optional Components		14
Add .NET and .NET cumulative updates		15
Export image	8	16	25

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