You're going to have to look at the content of D: and figure out which files
and folders were added by you, then delete them.
If you have no idea which files and folders to keep, I'd suggest that you
post the exact make and model of the computer in question, so that somebody
with the same hardware can tell you which entries on D: must be kept. You
can also contact the tech support for your computer and ask for the same
information.
