With vlite you REMOVE the languages you don't want with vlite.

With vlite you create an install image. What I wanted to know was a method NOT requiring a reinstall of the entire OS.

Short of going in and hacking away at it (and praying for the best), no there's no way of shrinking this folder easily (or maybe at all). This was discussed here awhile back as well, with some success by some people and epic failure by others, IIRC. You can probably find that thread if you do a quick search and want to read up on it.
