Not an Office Update issue, but nonetheless - some utilities but use at your own
risk. But before you try a utility to delete this file, why not boot in safe mode and
see if you can delete it that way.

Utility for Deleting Invalid Files
http://www.purgeie.com/delinv.htm
For invalid/UNC file/folder name deleting, rather than the in use problem

Locked Files Wizard formerly CopyLock is a simple assistant that allows you to
replace, to move, to delete and to rename one or more files or folders which are in
use by the system or any other process.
CopyLock is a small program that allows replacing, moving, renaming or deleting one
or many files which are currently in use (e.g. system files like comctl32.dll, or
virus/trojan files.)

Another is Killbox, here: http://www.downloads.subratam.org/KillBox.zip

Unlocker

Cannot delete file: Access is denied
There has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use.
The file is in use by another program or user.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently
in use.
