How Can I Delete Partially Downloaded SP 2 File?

Windows Update has a glitch and began an installation of a 268.00 MB SP 2
file instead of the 75 MB file it listed the update to be. I downloaded 95.30
MB of this file and have now stopped. Windows Update just keeps downloading
the larger file when I reconnect to it. How do I get rid of the 95.30 MB of
this file from my pc? Getting rid of it is the only way I can see to
hopefully get Windows Update to reset and allow me to download the smaller 75
MB file. The larger file began downloading through the 'Express Installation'
feature of Windows Update.
                                                                              
                                                                              
                      I suggest that everyone checks their download progress
window to see how large a file is actually being downloaded. It certainly
wasn't the 75 MB listed before I clicked 'install'.
