I have Two D Drives in File Explorer in my Laptop
But I have only one drive D in Disk Management in and also in Diskpart/List Volume.
How do I get rid/ remove the ghost drive letter?

Right-click the Start button > select Disk Management.
Look for all the partitions and drives listed.
Check if there's a duplicate D: drive (possibly a partition with an assigned drive letter that's not visible in Explorer).
- Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
- Type diskpart and press Enter.
- Type list volume and press Enter to see all volumes.
- Identify the volume with the ghost drive letter you want to remove.
- Type select volume X (replace X with the volume number of the ghost drive).
- Type remove letter=Y (replace Y with the drive letter you want to remove).
