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: /delete

    If 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!
