If The D Drive Is Your Recovery Partition...

...then leave it alone.. You don't want anything "Cleaned up" from the recovery partition.

Hope this helps.

Depends what your "D" drive is

Adverts such as you have submitted are against forum policy and running such a tool on the recovery partition could cause unwarranted damage.

Hope this helps.
