SYMPTOMS
When you remove a Systems Management Server (SMS) primary site, a folder named SMSPKGd$ is not removed. This share is created when the Primary Site Server is used as a Distribution Server. The letter x in SMSPKGx$ designates the drive on which the share is created.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps on the SMS Site Server:


 * 1) Start Windows Explorer.
 * 2) Expand drive D.
 * 3) Right-click SMSPKGd$.
 * 4) Click Sharing.
 * 5) Click Not Shared, and then click OK.
 * 6) Select SMSPKGd$.
 * 7) Click Delete.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
