I also tried to delete all language db from the support menu, but there is still no change, my site still appears in the Hebrew RTL text menu, even after i deleted my Hebrew Language.

For some reason, it stuck in Hebrew and doesn't let me change back to the English text menu in LTR.

Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue.

The issue exists in a minimal setup when I tried with the admin user you have shared. But it works fine when I tried with a new admin user. So I will consult about this with our team for an expert opinion and get back to you as soon as possible. Please wait. Refer to the following screencast for more details.
