So, here's a funny situation. I thought it would be a breeze to download tons of fonts for my design work, so I ended up grabbing almost 2000 fonts from Google Fonts. Now, I'm noticing that my programs are really slowing down because of all these fonts trying to load at once! I'm looking to delete them, but when I check C:WindowsFonts, it says the folder is empty. I'd prefer not to remove any default fonts or ones that might be in use by software. I'm on Windows 11 22631. Any tips on how to clean this up?

You should check this folder instead: %USERPROFILE%AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsFonts. That’s where user-specific fonts are stored. Just a tip—don’t worry too much about the system fonts; Windows usually won’t let you delete those, but it's always good to back them up just in case!
If you're having trouble deleting from that folder, it’s likely because the fonts are in use. You might want to try restarting your computer in safe mode to see if that allows you to delete them.
Try searching for "Fonts" in your Windows search bar. It should take you to Settings > Personalization > Fonts where you can manage which fonts to delete or add.
