Finally back to the Clearning page, click the "Run" button, Icleanlanguage will remove the extra language files for you, clean up a considerable amount of disk space.

After the icleanlanguage runs, a log file will also be displayed, telling you which files have been deleted. If you select "Dry run-no deletions" in the Clearning page, it will only simulate the run and not actually delete the file. By looking at the log file, you can see which files will be deleted?

So in the Introduction window deselect all languages except 中文版, so the program will only appear in the English language interface. If you also want to save a bit of hard disk space, then select the unwanted language, and then click the "Remove ..." button, you can delete those unnecessary files.
