in short - don’t - part of the system - even if you remove they will be restored when the package owning the files is update.

Alright I upped the allocation for 4 more gigabytes so it’s ok now.
@papajoke actually posted a fix for that, that in my opinion can be a solution of the problem (after one deletes everything not used)
Hello,
This forum thread is the internet’s top search link for
reduce /usr/share/locale
Here is my stab at an answer
This list deletes everything not english, proceed with caution, adjust to those language you won’t use only.
cd /usr/share/local ; rm -rf ab ace ach af ain ak am an ang ar as ast ay az az_IR ba bal bar be be@latin bg bi bn bn_BD bn_IN bo br bs byn ca ca@valencia ce ch chr ckb crh cs csb cs_CZ cv cy da de de_CH de_DE de@hebrew dv dz ee el en en@arabic en_AU en@cyrillic en@greek en@hebrew en_NZ en@piglatin en@shaw eo es es_ES es_EU es_MX et eu fa ff fi fil fo fr frp fur fy ga gd gez gl gn gu gv ha haw he hi hr ht hu hu_HU hy ia id id_ID ie io is it iu ja jam ka kab kg ki kk kl km kmr kn ko kok ku kv kw kw_GB ky lg li lo lt lv mai mg mhr mi mjw mk ml mn mo mr ms mt my na nah nb nb_NO nds ne nl nl_BE nl_NL nn no nso nv oc or pa pap pa_PK pi pl ps pt pt_BR pt_PT ro rom ro_MD ru ru_UA rw sc sd si sk sl so son sq sr sr@ije sr@latin sr@Latn sv sw ta te tg th ti tig tk tl tr tt tt@iqtelif tzm ug uk ur uz uz@cyrillic ve vi wa wal wo xh yi yo zh_CN zh_Hans zh_Hant zh_HK zh_TW zu
To run it at every boot, run the following command
echo "rm -rf rm -rf ab ace ach af ain ak am an ang ar as ast ay az az_IR ba bal bar be be@latin bg bi bn bn_BD bn_IN bo br bs byn ca ca@valencia ce ch chr ckb crh cs csb cs_CZ cv cy da de de_CH de_DE de@hebrew dv dz ee el en en@arabic en_AU en@cyrillic en@greek en@hebrew en_NZ en@piglatin en@shaw eo es es_ES es_EU es_MX et eu fa ff fi fil fo fr frp fur fy ga gd gez gl gn gu gv ha haw he hi hr ht hu hu_HU hy ia id id_ID ie io is it iu ja jam ka kab kg ki kk kl km kmr kn ko kok ku kv kw kw_GB ky lg li lo lt lv mai mg mhr mi mjw mk ml mn mo mr ms mt my na nah nb nb_NO nds ne nl nl_BE nl_NL nn no nso nv oc or pa pap pa_PK pi pl ps pt pt_BR pt_PT ro rom ro_MD ru ru_UA rw sc sd si sk sl so son sq sr sr@ije sr@latin sr@Latn sv sw ta te tg th ti tig tk tl tr tt tt@iqtelif tzm ug uk ur uz uz@cyrillic ve vi wa wal wo xh yi yo zh_CN zh_Hans zh_Hant zh_HK zh_TW zu" | sudo tee /usr/local/cleanlocale.sh > /dev/null

Bonus round, you can save another 150M by
cd /usr/share/dict
rm -rf bokmaal brazilian bulgarian catalan danish dutch french italian nederlands ngerman norsk nynorsk polish portuguese spanish svenska swedish
Stop necro-bumping half year old threads. With laughable “solution” at that.

More or less simply uninstall glibc-locales

The idea of “necroposting” is a thing that exist and bad is extremely damaging to the forum ecosystem. You should forget this ever was a thing.
Like it or not, this is the internet’s premiere destination for this niche topic, not even in a manjaro only context.
If that bothers you, there’s an easy fix, set you forum display view to hide all posts older than an arbitrary date of your choice. And you just like we can stop destroying the internet’s discussion places by locking threads and complaining with useless comments about “necroposting”
And you can call it laughable solution all you want, this 24 comment long thread had NO solution otherwise other than “just live with it, it’ll reinstall anyway”
@philm
Except this retains the locales that are in current use.
Well, you really should
because it will
…
And besides, that isn’t the correct format for providing terminal output…or stuff.
When posting terminal output, copy the output and paste it here, wrapped in three (3) backticks, before AND after the pasted text. Like this:
```
pasted text
```
Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:
~~~
pasted text
~~~
This will just cause it to be rendered like this:
Sed
sollicitudin dolor
eget nisl elit id
condimentum
arcu erat varius
cursus sem quis eros.
Instead of like this:
Sed sollicitudin dolor eget nisl elit id condimentum arcu erat varius cursus sem quis eros.
Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.
Thereby increasing legibility thus making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.
You neglected to mention the dropbear;
the distant cousin to the koala, that took an evolutionary turn for the worst; the meanest, and most vicious creature that never lived; that exists only to terrorise (mainly American) tourists by dropping from gum trees, and ripping their throats out…
The tourism commission like to disavow any knowledge of their existence for fear of the potential affect on Australian tourism in general, but those who have encountered them can vouch for the threat they pose. The unmarked graves of tourists; victims of the dropbear; keep growing in unspoken silence.
Even the locals are afraid to venture out at night…
I’m surprised you didn’t mention them…

There is absolutely no valid reason to remove these files on a regular base
If you really - really want to - and think it is absolutely necessary.
the folder holds translations for applications you have installed
if you are getting weird issues as a result - you are on your own
when the package providing the files is updated - they all come back

Well so far, all vital systems show none of these effects after several reboots.
Mainsail webservice & klipperscreen & console application
With all the fluff I deleted and after updating, I now have 1.2GB left and that is 1.2GB more than I had earlier !
As long as you remember:

Because the solution is, as already mentioned by @linux-aarhus, to NOT delete anything. And by the way, if you actually read the thread carefully you’d see that there was a “solution” with ‘NoExtract =’ mentioned.
What?
I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. So in my eyes this comment is useless. The previous one was not just useless but damaging.
And by the way, this is my /usr/share/locale size:
$ du -h --max-depth=0 /usr/share/locale
812M /usr/share/locale
And know what? On a 250GB drive:
$ df -h /
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nvme0n1p3 220G 94G 116G 45% /
To have all my software, all my websites, and everything else as far as I know working perfectly? I’d say it’s a non-issue.
Yours isn’t a “solution”. It’s merely a workaround. a Workaround for an issue that doesn’t really exist…
Storage is inexpensive. Why bother with this?
