Visual Studio 2015 - uninstall languages

Question

Is it possible to uninstall certain languages from VS 2015?

I installed the community edition but unlike previous versions it didn't prompt me to select which features I wanted to install so I ended up with languages like : VB, F#, and c++ which I'm never going to use.

Removing VB.net is not possible in Visual Studio 2015. You can unselect C++ under custom (opposite from here) and in this dialog you can also remove F#. Run control panel go to programs & features, select the visual studio 2015 with updates and click on modify. Here unselect the checkbox for C++ and F#.

The next VS will have a better installer to remove as much as possible,but here C#/VB will be also bundled the same time (.net desktop development).

I've got the same problem. So is there any way to uninstall at least c++ and f#? – eddy Sep 18 '16 at 17:47
@eddy see my reply in the other topic. unmark the checkbox entries for C++ and F# – magicandre1981 Sep 18 '16 at 17:54

They're already unchecked :S If they're not installed why do I see c++ and f# templates? :( – Axel Sep 18 '16 at 19:38
I have no idea why you see those entries. – magicandre1981 Sep 19 '16 at 04:08
