Empty Recycle bin.

Ensure that Pagefile is not set to D.

Show hidden / system files (via folder properties), delete.

From a command prompt, run dir /S /A:HS from the root of D to view the files,

Then attrib -H -S *.* /S /D to remove hidden and system attributes, then del *.* /S /D.

Use with caution!

Alternatively, just reformat the drive!
