Delete a downloaded IOS software update

I've accidentally downloaded IOS software update 8.4

It is now in the General>software update tab and says "Downloaded" and the option to "install now"

I do not want to do this update, as it would mess up a few apps installed on my ipad.

Now however I keep getting the message about updating the ipad.

How do i delete the downloaded IOS update?

I've checked in the General>Usage>Storage tabs of my ipad, and it isn't there...

where is it? and how do i delete it?

as i don't want it to accidentally start installing and making a few apps on my ipad that I need for work unusable

iPad Mini, iOS 7.0.6

IT should be in Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage. Let everything load and you should see if in there. Give it time to load everything. It is close to 190MB, IIRC, so it should be in the top third of your list.

Thank you... it's so frustrating that updates are downloaded without asking first. Don't do me any favors!
