Clean up Windows Update cache after Update issues

I ran into some trouble recently where the windows updates would keep coming back. same update after it was being applied (successfully from what was being reported)


Solution was simple to clear the cached updates and let it start over. had to look this up however.

1. open your command prompt (Start -> Run -> type cmd and then OK)
2. type "net stop wuauserv" at the prompt
3. type "cd /d %windir%"
4. Type "rd /s SoftwareDistribution"
5. type "net start wuauserv" to restart your windows updates.
