In SCCM 2007 we had issue when we were trying to reinstall PXE service point role the installation fails and will show the following errors.

When we checked we could see that smspxeimages$ SHARE still exist even after removing the PXE role from that machine. Removed the PXE role again from the system and then delete the share and again enabled the role it worked.

Hope this information is helpful
