Delete all 4 lines of a fastq read from a fastq file using read ID

I have the following error when running bowtie2:

Error: Read HWI-D00466:116:CC62WANXX:3:1102:7363:63646 1:N:0:GCACACG has more read characters than quality values.

I now want to remove all 4 lines of this specific read from the fastq file.

How can I use awk or sed to do this?
