Description

Unused localization files can be removed to recover disk space. It helps administrators and constrained systems avoid storing translations and locale data that are not needed for the selected languages.

This is a destructive cleanup tool. Removing locales can break translated interfaces, documentation, or language support for users who later need them, so review configuration and backups before running it broadly.
