    How do I delete a Language pack from System 32


    Woah, so this is going into some scetchy territory right here. We have all heard of removing the famous "System 32 'virus' " and nuking the entire system.

    But this is different.
    Because reasons I have ended up with a folder in my System32 called "ja-jp" which I think is a Japanese language/locale pack of some sorts. I only have folders like these for English, Japanese and Swedish.
    Normally I would leave this alone, but it is interfering with my work.

    For some reason the program "CodeLite" uses a command prompt located in the ja-jp folder, instead of the ones in System32 or any of the other languages. This sets the command prompt to ANSI Japanese, and any "special character" I.E in my native language (Å Ä Ö) will be output as japanese characters. I troubleshooted the reason for this to the ja-jp folder existing. As CodeLite won't do anything to change this by itself. The ja-jp folder also has no use and is just deadweight, so removing it is only beneficial.

    I have tried a few things, but I can't modify or delete anything in the folder nor the folder itself as it is protected by the infamous TrustedInstaller. What do I do?

    Some ways are:
    a. boot to command prompt and delete it from there
    b. boot from a live boot disk and delete it
    c. Install FileAssassin and use that (free) (but files only, not folders)
    d. Install Emco MoveonBoot (free) and use that
