This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are working on a site and want to remove everything created by WPML, including pages. When attempting to delete all translations from one language, the process fails to complete and keeps loading.
Solution:
First, manually remove any taxonomies related to WPML as these might be causing the issue with deletion. For guidance on how to do this, please refer to our documentation on manually removing taxonomies.
After removing the taxonomies, you can reset WPML and remove all its data from your site. Detailed instructions for this process can be found here: WPML reset guide.

If these steps do not resolve your issue, or if the information seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still need assistance, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Hi there.

Please take a look here:
https://wpml.org/forums/topic/uninstall-wpml-3/#post-16338821

We have a known issue related to taxonomies, so those will need to be removed manually first. After those are removed, you can remove the rest of the content.

Please let me know how things go.

I hope that you will find this information helpful.
