Remove Files or Folders from a Distribution Share

Windows System Image Manager (Windows SIM) enables you to remove files and folders from distribution shares. However, to remain a valid distribution share, at least one subfolder must be named one of the following: $OEM$ Folders, Packages, or Out-of-Box Drivers.
