Reversing update-rc.d


I created a script to run upon boot time as follows. I now decided I don't want it. Other than deleting /etc/init.d/client, what should I do? Maybe manually delete the six files in /etc/rc*? Expect a better way. Thanks
Code:
michael@raspberrypi:sudo vi /etc/init.d/client
michael@raspberrypi:sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/client
michael@raspberrypi:sudo update-rc.d client defaults
michael@raspberrypi:/etc/rc0.d $ find /etc/rc* -name "*client*"
/etc/rc0.d/K01client
/etc/rc1.d/K01client
/etc/rc2.d/S02client
/etc/rc3.d/S02client
/etc/rc4.d/S02client
/etc/rc5.d/S02client
/etc/rc6.d/K01client
michael@raspberrypi:/etc/rc0.d $
Please disregard.

Code:
michael@raspberrypi:/etc $ man update-rc.d
michael@raspberrypi:/etc $ update-rc.d -n client remove
insserv: remove service /etc/init.d/../rc0.d/K01client
insserv: remove service /etc/init.d/../rc1.d/K01client
insserv: remove service /etc/init.d/../rc2.d/S02client
insserv: remove service /etc/init.d/../rc3.d/S02client
insserv: remove service /etc/init.d/../rc4.d/S02client
insserv: remove service /etc/init.d/../rc5.d/S02client
insserv: remove service /etc/init.d/../rc6.d/K01client
insserv: dryrun, not creating .depend.boot, .depend.start, and .depend.stop

The rc.d scripts are symlinks to init.d scripts. If you delete the script from /etc/init.d, the links should go away.
