Remove downloaded (but not installed) updates?

Update has downloaded some updates for Office 2007. I've since removed
Office 2007 from my machine so don't want or need those updates. How do I
stop MS Update from harassing me to install them?
Thanks!

I should add ... if you are still getting messages to install updates ...
you probably didn't uninstall it.
If you removed Office, there would be nothing to update.
Did you uninstall it ?
Or just delete shortcuts ?

I do want to use MS Update, I just want those particular updates to go away!
I uninstalled Office, but AFTER those updates appeared. I never installed
the updates, because I knew I wouldn't be using Office 2007.

It won't help me.
That OP probably installed a trial version and f-ed it up.
Happens all the time.
