Hello,

So, i just recently replaced my windows 8 to 8.1 and i've noticed that i have "French" installed in my system, i can barely speak english, but french! Anyway after couple of unsuccessful attempts to delete this language i started digging (Searching over the internet for a solution), but i came back with an empty pockets.

Just to make sure:

You don't actually have French installed (that is why it says available for download).

It is only defined as input. Just go into options in the box you have hi-lighted and delete it (you may have to delete the the UK keyboard input method first on the same screen you get to).

I don't know how it worked but thankfully, it did. Previously i was not able to remove it, and it was the only language i had on my system, so i thought maybe i cant delete it because its the one, so i add Arabic and English, but nothing changed, i was still unable to delete it. Yesterday i suddenly was able to do it, the Remove button at the top was highlighted. And for what it's worth, thank for help.
