How do I uninstall homebrew software from the Wii to restore it to its factory state?

I need to install the WiiSpeak Channel and it requires me to update the firmware. If I update the firmware with homebrew software installed I run a serious risk of bricking my Wii. I want to revert the Wii back to original settings and remove all signs of homebrew. I have no interest in homebrew. I just got the Wii from a friend and I want it to be like new.

From the page at Nintendo:

"With the Wii console properly connected, power on the console to reach the Wii Channel menu.
Use the Wii Remote to move the cursor over the "Wii" button in the bottom-left corner of the screen and press the A Button.
From the main Wii Menu and System Settings screen, use the Wii Remote to move the cursor over the "Data Management" option.

Press the A Button to enter the Data Management tool.

To delete Wii Channel data
Access the Wii Data Management screen
Select the "Wii Channels" icon.
All available Wii Channels will be displayed. Select the file you wish to delete, and choose "Erase" to delete the file."

Good luck :)

The Homebrew Channel Wiki, and gonintendo.com, state that the update to 4.2 will kill homebrew, but no one has reported the system becoming bricked as a result. You are right, though.. you do run this risk.

This is one of the many reasons that I discourage people from modifying home consoles that were not meant to do so. The companies that produce these consoles are not friendly to this procedure, and have little concern for maintaining the systems of those who void their user licenses.
