Is the patch you are inquiring about? It came out March 12th.

Code
TV-missile should no longer be able to blow up the helicopter shooting the missile.
Fixed an issue where the proximity defense ability of the Mobile Artillery in Armored Kill does not kill enemies that are standing at a corner of the vehicle. Blast radius extended to 3 meters.
Scavenger mode ticket count in Aftermath increased from 150 to 300 to create matches that last a bit longer.
Fixed incorrect spelling on Aftermath dog tags.
Enabled player movement in Gun Master mode in pre-round.
Fixed an issue where an AT mine kill could count as a vehicle kill.
Improved the position of the repair icon so that it won’t disappear outside the screen while repairing.
Solved a teleportation glitch where the user could teleport if using a knife and a mortar in combination.
Fixed an issue where the Air Radar would display a minimap when running on a hardcore server with minimap disabled.
Fixed an issue where the player camera would flip 180 degrees if the player was revived in water.
Solved an issue where having spawn immunity while being in a vehicle that gets destroyed would grant the player invulnerability.
Improved the behavior of destroyed Rhib boats so that they have proper interaction with other vehicles.
Fixed an issue where landing a helicopter on a mobile artillery vehicle would make the helicopter invisible.
Solved an issue where a counter on Operation Metro lacked collision so that players were unable to put their bipod on it.
Fixed an issue where team swapping could be used by server admins to team kill.
Fixed an issue where the floor collision of a particular building would disappear if destroyed by a vehicle.
Added ticket status in the end of round screen for Scavenger Mode.
Fixed an issue where door textures appeared on the floor of certain buildings in Grand Bazaar.
Fixed an issue where the player health was displayed improperly on kill cards in Hardcore Mode.
Enabled the Co-op dog tags to be used freely within the game since they were unobtainable in their previous design.
Fixed several collision issues causing players to get stuck unintentionally. Levels affected: Operation Metro, Noshahr Canals, Wake Island, Damavand Peak, Operation Firestorm, Earthquake, And Caspian Border.
Fixed several collision issues where the player was able to get out of the playable area on several maps. Levels affected: Talah Market, Epicenter, Markaz Monolith, Noshahr Canals, Grand Bazaar, Azadi Palace, Operation Metro, and Seine Crossing.
Fixed a bug to make sure that unranked servers always have scoring enabled.


As for deleting updates check out this article on Battlefield's website. It's a tutorial for managing your memory associated with Battlefield 3 to free up as much as space as possible with still having all the necessary files to play online: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654348466677261/1/

Hope it works out for you, happy gaming :)

From what I have read on the Battlefield forums and other sources on the internet some people say you can't and can delete old patch files.

Some people were able to delete old multiplayer updates, download the newest one (which would be update 5 that I posted above) and play online. I found this tutorial on a website about the patches and which can be safely deleted. Navigate to your hard drive and you should have Rent-A-Server / E-Sports Update & Mulitiplayer Update 4. The 2 files combined is approximately 2.4 gigs and those can be deleted. Then you can attempt to connect to Battlefields server (in game) and you will be prompted to download the newest patch which is Multiplayer Update 5 which is approximately 1.8 gigs. After a successful download you should be good to play.

Yesterday I popped in BF3 after not playing for 500 days and I only had to download the latest patch Multiplayer Update 5. Some people say their Battlefield 3 file is like 20 gigs but I'm sure that is with DLC. Mine is roughly 5-6 gigs I think but that is because I installed the HD graphics + the new patch.

Hope that helped was a bit of a mouthful :p If you have questions or come across trouble I'd be glad to help, just post here or shoot me message :thumbsup:
