Is it safe to have multiple DLL files suddenly appearing on the D drive in Windows 11?

Multiple dynamic link library (DLL) files were unexpectedly discovered on the D drive (non-system drive) of a Windows 11 system. The origin of these files is uncertain—whether they are remnants from system/program updates or potential risks. I am seeking methods to identify them and recommendations for handling them.
