How to delete driver patch from Update Manager repository?

I had to manually load a NIC driver for my older blade servers on ESXi 5.0. Now that I have migrated to new blades and ESXi 5.1, I do not want or need this driver installed. However, it keeps showing as non-compliant because it's missing the driver (the NIC isn't even present in the new blades).

How can I just delete this from the repository so it doesn't show up any of the baselines?

Hi

Welcome to the communities.

Simple you may uncheck the box like driver which you don't want to update.

Unfortunately, the driver is in one of the "pre-defined" baselines, so while I can uncheck it so it doesn't install, it still shows all hosts as non-compliant (because the driver is rated Important and "Missing")
