(It wouldn't if I'd programmed that firmware. I'd just delete the existing folder or file, download the firmware, and install it.)
The unix command to delete a file (like the update.bin) is different from the command to delete a directory, hence why this method works. See this thread: Tutorial An easier way to disable auto-updates
