First tip - if you set a delay of, say, two seconds, it gives you time
to minimise the screenshot utility window, which makes for more useful
screenshots. As it is, I'm not sure it's obscured anything overly
useful here.

You can use multiple languages on a single install, which is likely to
be easier for you.

How are you trying to delete it? What exactly happens? What error
messages come up?
Also, which partition is what? It's hard to tell from that screenshot.
