How to remove the update metadata in SCCM database

Hi all,
i've more than 20.000 update metadata entries in the sccm database which slows the performance on reports. Most of them (approx. 13.000 updates) are driver updates like realtek and intel which i do not need. I've already unchecked these classifications and products on the sofware update point component. How can I remove the unneeded entries?
Is there a sccm maintenance task which removes those entries after some time?
I've already waited almost two weeks, but the number is still the same.
Thanks a lot

This will be taken care of the 'Delete Aged Configuration Management Data Task' task.

Are you sure? It sounds a little bit that the client specific data for updates management is deleted.e.g. the status reports which updates are needeed and so on, but not the updates metadata itself.
I've reinstalled the SUP and WSUS and now all updates except of them i want to be synced are set to expired. The question is now if the expired updates are removed from the sccm database?!
