    By default, Business Intelligence Development Studio creates an empty package, named Package.dtsx, and adds this package to every new project. However, you will not use this package because the wizard will create its own package. You can delete Package.dtsx, or use it as the basis for a different package later. To delete it, right-click Package.dtsx, and then click Delete.
