How to Uninstall Voice Access Languages in Windows 11

This guide explains how to remove voice-access-for-windows-11/" class="sal-link" rel="noopener" target="_blank" data-sal-id="2655">Voice access languages you no longer use on your Windows 11 computer.

Voice access is a tool that lets you control your PC and type using only your voice. It helps you open apps and move around Windows without a mouse or keyboard. When you first start, Windows checks if your display language is ready to work. You can add extra languages later, but if you change your mind, you can remove them to save space.

Why do this? Removing unused language packs helps keep your computer clean and frees up storage space.

What happens when done? The specific language pack will be deleted, and you will no longer be able to use that language for voice commands.

Using the Windows Settings App

This method is the easiest way to manage your installed languages.

1. Click Start and select Settings.
2. Go to Apps then Installed apps.
3. Find the Speech Pack you want to remove in the list.
4. Click the three dots (…) next to the item.
5. Select Uninstall.
6. Click Uninstall again to confirm.

Using Windows Terminal

You can also use command-line tools to remove these packs. Note: This method requires admin privileges.

First, open the Terminal app. Then, type the following command to see a list of your installed speech packs:

Get-AppxPackage *MicrosoftWindows.Speech* | Select Name, PackageFullName

Once you see the list, find the PackageFullName of the language you want to remove. Use that name in this command:

Remove-AppxPackage -Package 'MicrosoftWindows.Speech.en-GB.1_1.0.7.0_x64__cw5n1h2txyewy'

After you run this command, Windows will remove the language pack from your system.

Summary

Managing your Voice access languages is simple. You can use the Settings menu for a visual approach or Windows Terminal for a faster, command-based method. Removing languages you do not use ensures your system stays organized and efficient. Remember that after installing a new language or language is installed, you can always manage or remove these tools via Windows Settings or Windows Terminal app if your needs change.
