How to delete corrupted Windows Update Files in Windows 7

How to delete corrupted Windows Update Files in Windows 7


If you have an update file cached on  a windows 7 machine that is causing issues, or that you want to tidy up for imaging purposes,  the process is really straight forward to clean it up.
the files are located at c:\windows\C:\windows\SoftwareDistribution\download . if you delete the contents of this folder, the cached copy should no longer be an issue.

if you wanted to script this in a batch file, it could look something like this:
rmdir /s /q C:\windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
rmdir /s /q C:\windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
as you can see, pretty straight forward issue to a common problem!
