Or, after the fact: /opt/ooo-dev3/share/extensions (linux) and remove
the dict-fr and dict-es (or dict-en) folders. Also the relevant bits in
the /opt/ooo-dev3/share/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages folder.

The problem with unwanted added dictionary packages has been around for
some time & is nothing new. What does surprise me however is OOo
continuing this into 3.3 after the numerous complaints and bugs filed.
