What is lpremove.exe?
Lpremove is a program that is automatically scheduled to run in silent mode at least once during the boot process to delete any unused language pack files. For example, if you uninstall a language pack, the language pack files and the associated values are not actually deleted from your computer until Lpremove runs.
