When compiling WPF application language folders are copied to build folder

Question

How can I cancel this option (I need only English). Is it some installation that should be removed? configuration?

folders created are: de, en, es, fr, it, ja, ko, zh-Hans zh-Hant

Working with Visual Studio 2015

references:

• System.Windows.Interactivity
• Microsoft.Expression.Interactions

Answer 1

I added this in my "post build event command line" which is a bit shorter than the example by Dr. C. Hilarius.

rd /s /q "de" "en" "es" "fr" "hu" "it" "ja" "ko" "pr-br" "ro" "pt-br" "ru" "sv" "zh-hans" "zh-hant"

Answer 2

None of the suggestions worked for me.

Instead, I added post build events to remove the offending directories:

RMDIR "$(TargetDir)de/" /S /Q
RMDIR "$(TargetDir)es/" /S /Q 
RMDIR "$(TargetDir)fr/" /S /Q
RMDIR "$(TargetDir)it/" /S /Q
RMDIR "$(TargetDir)ja/" /S /Q
RMDIR "$(TargetDir)ko/" /S /Q
RMDIR "$(TargetDir)ru/" /S /Q
RMDIR "$(TargetDir)zh-Hans/" /S /Q
RMDIR "$(TargetDir)zh-Hant/" /S /Q

^{Turning my comment as an answer:}

The issue may come from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Expression\Blend\.NETFramework\v4.0\Libraries which contains localizable objects for build. If you delete it (keep a backup to be sure) it should solve your issue.
