Windows 7: Go to Control Panel -> View Installed Updates, click on the unwanted update, and then click on uninstall.
That doesn't work, Google is your friend.
If you want to format and reinstall windows, consider putting it in a Virtualbox or similar software and using Linux as the OS to run it.
Finally a help forum is more appropriate for these types of questions.

Try looking up the KB number for that update, and download it from microsofts website. Then run it to see if it gives an option to remove it. I use Linux so I don't know if this will work, but best of luck to you.

From another post I commented about Windows 7 "security" updates.

I would recommend the following for Windows 7 users who do not want any Windows 10 updates and this Telemetry update. Below was the copied code from the http://superuser.com/questions/922068/how-to-disable-the-get-windows-10-icon-shown-in-the-notification-area-tray website but I formatted for Voat to use.
Open note pad in Windows, create a file "BlockWindows10.bat", paste and save below the code.
Open note pad in Windows, create a file "HideWindowsUpdates.vbs", paste and save below the code.
Notes:
All thanks goes to Opmet user from superuser.com in creating these scripts =-)
