Try adding this to a PropertyGroup in the csproj file for the project. I was also getting the language folders added the line & they're gone going forward. I add it to all of my projects

Unfortunately, I can't speak for a Maui app specifically though because most of mine are WPF projects

Hello,

There is no way to prevent these from being generated in a self-contained project by dotnet publish.

If you only want to deploy specific languages, you can ignore the other language folders that you don't want and deploy only the directories for the languages you want.

You can delete these language folders. But keep the English language. These language folders generated by the MSBuild, you cannot use dotnet command to remove them.
