No Sorry But The Window Is There But No Good Taking It Out And Look At It The Sill Is Groud Level Water May Get In So Like To Filling It Up With Some Cement 6"and Rebar So It 6"higher Then Out Side Ground And Then Put New Smaller Window In
Easier to dig out the ground than to cement it up and put in a smaller window.
Plus if the window is in a bedroom and is large enough you can count that as a bedroom if you ever sell your house. If you make it smaller then you might have to subtract a bedroom if you sell it. Most code has a requirement for the size of emergency access.

Still it is easier to just dig down a few inches than to pull all this out and cement some more in. It is not uncommon to have leaks at seams so you might have the same issue down the road. Just a few minutes with a shovel should fix this issue. Or if it's hard soil then even a few hours which would be a lot less time than the other option, not to mention a lot cheaper.
Then again I am a fan of windows. I like natural light and the vitamin D that comes with it.
Plus I have an aversion to work.
