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?

Ah, that's a weird and annoying glitch! Here’s the quick fix that usually works:
Open Command Prompt as Admin and run:
net use
This will show any mapped network drives. If you see the ghost D: drive listed, remove it with:
net use D: /deleteIf that doesn’t work, try using DiskPart as Admin:
Type diskpart
Then list volume
If you see the ghost volume, select it with select volume X (replace X with the volume number)
Remove it with remove letter=D
No restart should be needed—it should vanish from File Explorer instantly!
