If he's got a 16GB iDevice he's also just lost over 20% of the free storage space.
Such a simple fix, unless you're jail broken: settings > reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Done.
(Turn off WIFI at home to keep the firmware was re-downloading.)

I'm glad someone is doing this. Sadly though, the lawyers will get richer and mybe, we won't be forced to download the update for those of us on 6.1.3.

Done until it downloads it again. The only way to stop it is to fill the space leaving less then 3GB available.

How to see if it happened
Is there any way to see, if my iPhone have downloaded the update-files itself?
And there is truly no way to get rid of the installer-file if it has been downloaded, AND I want to stay on iOS 6? (without jailbraking, which isn't yet possible for iOS 6, right?).
Oh sorry - haven't seen the post about the
»settings > reset > Erase All Content and Settings.«
And then my normal settings could be restored from a backup from iTunes?

These ios 6 lovers are really insane
If liking iOS 6 is wrong, then maybe I don't want to be right.
He needs to just upgrade and stop being so ridiculous about it. Although, then he is going to start suing over the icons and the animations.
Why does he need to upgrade? Because you say he should?
I would update in a heartbeat if IOS 7 on my iPhone 4 didn't look so gray and dull. But it's not like I'm gonna press charges over that
iOS 7 on the iPhone 4 is practically unusable. Much like the iPhone 3G was with a previous iOS version (5 or 6, I can't remember). As much as people in here are screaming "get with the times," I can understand somebody not willing to update to preserve their device functionality. At the very least, Apple should include an option in the software update settings to turn this on or off, and if you turn it off after the download of the new OS, it should delete the update and free up the storage on the device. That's not exactly rocket science. And if the person decides to upgrade to the new iOS at a later time, they can sit through the download process at that point in time.
He sued in small claims court for $50, plus a way to erase the update and keep it from downloading.. yes.. scummy lawyer trying to get rch for sure
It's just as usable as iOS6. I suggest you restore you iPhone because clearly something isn't working correctly.
Some places/offices, are still running Windows 7 or Snow Leopard because their apps run perfectly fine and may have not been updated to support newer OSes. This can be applied here - especially if someone's most used app hasn't been updated for iOS 7, why blame him for being on iOS 6?
Also, iPhone 4 running iOS 7 is slower than iOS 6 - so if I had an iPhone 4, I wouldn't want to update. So I would have an iPhone 4 with 2 less gigs (which you can't delete) because Apple made it download in the background.
Is it worth a lawsuit? No - but clearly the early outcries didn't bother Apple to change the way they handle major system updates.
Some of us use devices with older versions of iOS for app development and testing. Others have personal reasons for not wanting to upgrade their device from what's on it currently (nothing to do with iOS 7 specifically). Point is, while I think the lawsuit itself is stupid, the idea behind it is not. If people want to stick with iOS6, then let them, and don't force them to throw away valuable storage space.
I think he's in the right. There should always have been an option in settings that prevents this from happening in the first place.
Is suing a bit silly? Maybe. But arguably no sillier than Apple shoving their OS update onto your phone without you desiring it, and/or without giving you a sensible way to remove it after the fact.
