Its still taking up valuable space.

All the non-english packages should be optional.

When I try to remove one of the Package, it tells me its going to also Uninstall lots of other stuff.

How would I go about now uninstalling all of them without breaking my system.

Package Groups are shown as "installed", as soon as all mandatory
packages are installed (IIRC at least one package of the group has to
be installed). Some groups have no mandatory packages at all. Most of
the language support groups have font packages in their list that can
already be installed on default system. That way they get displayed as
"installed". In reality it means "partially installed".

No need to worry.

They are probably shipped by default, since there are people around who don't speak english and also use a different set of letters.
I think it's good to give them a good out-of-the-box fedora experience.
To say if it's safe to remove the packages one would need to know which packages exactly are removed by the yum transaction.
