How to delete a downloaded but uninstalled update?

[deertroy]

I have an updated driver for my video card that was downloaded as part of the
microsoft update process. After installing the updated driver it conflicted
with the latest driver from ATI. I did a system restore and all is well
again except when I check for microsoft updates it says the update is
downloaded an ready for installation. I realize I could tell update to not
show this update but it is 20mb's and I'd like to remove it from my HD. How
can I delete the donloaded but uninstalled update?

I'm not 100% sure, but I do know you should *never* download drivers/driver
updates from MS. Always get your drivers from the hardware manufacturer.
