On WSUS 2.0, decline the update, disable Express Installation Files, run the
WSUSDebugTool /Tool:PurgeUnneededFiles utility. Re-approve the updates and
wait for the non-EIF files to download.
On WSUS 3.0, decline the update, disable Express Installation Files, run the
built in Server Cleanup Tool. Re-approve the updates and wait for the
non-EIF files to download.

Sort, Shift-Click or Ctrl-Click, Right Click, select Approval.
NOTE: The only updates you need to perform that on are updates that contain
EIF filesets. Generally that's service packs (and some others). I would
suggest starting with Service Packs.
But, in general, do it in groups appropriate for the types of updates that
you can easily filter and sort, or define in a configured Update View.
Also, reordering the steps above, will help.
[a] Disable Express Installation Files
[b] Decline selected updates.
[c] Run Server Cleanup Tool.
[d] Reapprove selected updates.
[e] Repeat steps [b] through [d] as needed.

Hello. Thank you for your answers.
Can we avoid re-download of files ? It is undesirable in our case.
Can i simply delete EIF files from WSUSContent folder manually?
How can i find them in WSUSContent and/or WSUS database?

If you delete the express installation version of the updates, you will need to
download the standard versions to replace them - unless you no longer need the
updates at all, in which case you should decline them.

Hello.
You mean that EIF files are files with .exe extension in WSUSContent?
I.e. no special extension for this files?

I have no idea; but how the files are stored internally in WSUS is irrelevant.
If you want to be able to install the updates on client machines, the WSUS
server has to have downloaded them in one form or another. So if you've
currently got the EIF files you'll have to either keep them, or remove them and
download the standard files instead.
Harry.
