Open Notepad and copy and paste the following:

CD \
CD %WINDIR%
CD SOFTWAREDISTRIBUTION
DEL / F / S / Q DOWNLOAD


Save the file on your desktop as *Delete Vista Update Files.bat*

Close Notepad.
Now *Right Click *on the Icon *Delete Vista Update Files.bat *and then
*Run as Administrator*.

Let me know if this helps
