Clear out Software Updates Listing in SCCM 2012

Is it possible to clear out the updates that show up in "all software updates?"  We recently started using Solarwinds for 3rd Party patching and any of the updates that have a "Date Released or Revised" prior to when we started using Solarwinds error out when we try to download them into SCCM 2012.

I have removed any old deployments referencing 3rd party patches.  I have done everything I can think of on the Solarwinds side.  When I am able to get the "All software Updates" to reflect a more current date the downloads work fine and I am able to push out the 3rd party patch.

Does anyone know where I can go to clear out those older Released/Revised updates so when I publish the update from Solarwinds and "Synch" with SCCM that it shows the date that I actually release the update?

Thanks,
Rich

I did find this But it does not seem to list 3rd Party patches unless I am doing something wrong.  So I still need help  :)

Ok I will give that a try except they seem pretty clueless when it comes to SCCM side of the two talking.  I had already removed everything on the SW side so that there are no Java updates on the SW side at all that have been downloaded.  I did a resynch but the old information still displays so there has to be another place I need to look.

thanks

When ConfigMgr synchronises with WSUS, the WSUS data is ingested into the ConfigMgr db.

Cleaning out WSUS, or, uninstalling/reinstalling WSUS, does not remove the ingested data - that data remains in the ConfigMgr db.

If you have 3rd party integrations (e.g. SCUP for Adobe catalogs or SolarWinds PatchManager or other LocalPublishing etc), the data in the ConfigMgr db for those vendors/products/updates will need to be updated or managed by that integration.

Or you could contact MSFT CSS via a support case and they can help you zap that stuff from your ConfigMgr db.
