Windows 11 keeps adding random keyboard layouts I don't want

I use my computer in English, just for display, but its keyboard has a Latin American Layout, for which I use the Spanish Latin American version of it. My problem is windows keeps adding English (United States) US keyboard and English (United States) Latin American keyboard, which I never add manually because I don't need them. Why does it happen and how can I prevent it from happening again?

    Firstly, remove any unwanted keyboard layouts.

    Make your preferred keyboard is set as default.

    Settings > Accounts > Sync your settings > Turn off "Language preferences"

    Right-click on the taskbar > Taskbar Settings > Enable Show language bar.

    This will help to switch over keyboards.
