Bleachbit UI language

I just installed Bleachbit 3.2.0 as an upgrade to version 3.0 on a French Windows system. Version 3.0 had its UI in English. Version 3.2.0 automatically installed its UI in the system locale, i.e. in French. I much prefer to have an English UI. How can I switch to English Bleachbit on my French system?
TIA

BleachBit version: 
3.2.0
Your operating system: 
Windows 10 64 bit

go to the folder and remove the folders with the languages other than english.

I prefer the old version of the program better

The folder is
"C:\Users\User's Name\AppData\Local\BleachBit\share\locale".
Thanks a lot!

There are a few ways to make BleachBit to show in English

1. Delete the locale folder, as Pepito69 suggested

2. Download and use the English installer

3. When using the regular (non-English) installer, uncheck the option to install translations

4. In the Windows Control Panel, change the Windows language to English

By the way, today I updated the FAQ Q: How do I see BleachBit in my own language on Microsoft Windows?. It had some of this information, but it didn't cover the scenario of forcing BleachBit to show in English.
