A:

1 Go to Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage.

2 Select “iOS 8.0.1.” Because it is about 600MB, it is probably close to the top of your list.

3 Tap Delete Update, and tap Delete Update again to confirm.

The only way I know of how to remove them is to restore from backup either via iTunes or iCloud.

Also, they might not even instal if you tried since since APple has pulled that update and thus when it checks before install it will found out to be no longer signed by Apple.

I Know this what you do if you INSTALLED the update, but I just downloaded the update but DID NOT install. Is there any other way to get rid of the file?

That's not possible since Apple stopped signing iOS 9.3.5. You will just have to get use to the new features in iOS 10. Hope this helps.
