Where are downloaded update files?

Hey all! Newbie with Linux. Got a new netbook with it on it. So far so good.

When I first booted the computer up it downloaded a bunch of update files. I don't want most of the files and can't find them to delete them.

So what I would like to know is where does Linux save these files???

Help, please!!!!

THANKS!!!

Firstly, How to ask a question?

You will need to describe you os and distribution of gnu/linux.

type

uname -a

Code:

cat /etc/redhat-release

ls /etc | grep release



cat /etc/*release*
