Hey johnly196,


If the software update file has been downloaded, you can remove it using the steps in the section "Remove and download the update again" here: If your iPhone or iPad won't update - Apple Support


1. Go to Settings > General > [Device name] Storage.
2. Find the update in the list of apps.
3. Tap the update, then tap Delete Update.
4. Go to Settings > General > Software Update and download the latest update.


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.


Take care!
