/usr/share/locale

Having been looking round Disk Usage Analyser on Gnome I have found that /usr/share/locale uses up just shy of 200mb. (I know it's not much in the grand scheme of things but it just bothers me) Since I have set everything up for en_GB is it safe to go ahead and delete all of the other languages? I'm the only one who uses this comp so I know I dont need the rest of them. Reason I ask is that I have got my arch setup just perfect with everything I need and nothing else, it has taken a while to get to this point and dont want eveything to go tits up by deleting these files without asking.

Thanks

Re: /usr/share/locale

Should be fine.

I just deleted everything excpt for the en_* ones in mine  and rebooted. So far no issues... Good idea by the way.

Re: /usr/share/locale

I had my locale set to en_gb.when I tried to run devede it told me I had an unsupported locale.After enabling en_us it ran just fine so I would leave that just in case
