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.
