I'm never going to create a Visual Basic Project. Can I remove these from my IDE? Too many times I've created a new project not realizing I've been defaulted to the Visual Basic Projects and mistakenly create a Visual Basic Project instead of the C# project I meant to create.

You can change this by going to the project property page (right click Properties) and change the Output Type combo box. It is possible to have other project types supported by the project system but they are fairly few and are not definitively associated with a project template.
In Solution Explorer, on the right-click menu (context menu) of the solution you want to delete, select Open folder in File Explorer. In File Explorer, navigate up one level. Select the folder that contains the solution, and then press the Delete key.
In Solution Explorer, right-click the file whose properties you want to modify. Click Properties and select one of the available tabbed property pages - for example, COBOL. Click Use Project Defaults to revert all properties to the values set at project level. Click Apply, and then click OK.
Navigate to your project under the Visual Studio Projects folder. Right-click the project and select Delete. A delete confirmation appears. Click OK.
Go to "Programs and Features" (Vista) or "Add or Remove Programs" (XP) and select Visual Studio. Click on "Uninstall or Change" (or the equivalent).
Then select "Add or Remove features" and under "Language Tools" remove "Visual Basic".
There may be other ways of messing with the templates directly, but that feels like the most appropriate way of saying you're not interested in VB.
EDIT: (Based on comments)
You can also change the default language, either by resetting all settings or by editing the vssettings file.

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> Look for Visual Studio version you are working on and select 'Change/Remove' -> Remove Visual Basic from the features
