Somehow my console downloaded 4.07 update even though I disabled "Download updates automatically"

Now every time I start my console it asks for update, and If I accidentally click on "Update" I'm done-no jailbreak chance for me.

If I do "factory reset" will this delete the Update file and stop asking me to update Firmware?

Hi,
I almost hit accidently on the "update" button for the firmware update. Now my question is - do I understand it correctly that PS4 places the PUP file in its "/update" folder, so even if it was downloaded there and BEFORE the reboot of PS4, it's possible to delete it from there to prevent PS4 from updating its firmware, correct?
Many thanks!
P.S. I am on a 9.0 JB PS4.
