Suppress the creation of xml documentation & resources in 3rd party libraries

The same question is already available here, however there is no suitable answer, the question's 3 years old and referring to Visual Studio 2010, so I thought I give it a shot.

I've got plenty of 3rd party libraries and frameworks inside a huge project, most of them downloaded via NuGet. Now, a lot of them might have the "Generate XML documentation" flag set because the XML documentation files are being generated over and over again, resulting in a completely cluttered deployment folder. Additionally, 2-3 libraries generate language resources (but they seem to be empty) which results in 20 folders for every language code.

Is there anything I could do about?
