Bitlocker issue with "D" drive

A user brought me a computer with a USB headset not working. I went to Dell's website and downloaded installed both a Realtek driver and a USB Realtek driver. The USB driver required a restarted. Pursuant to that, the machine kept blue-screening after the Bitlocker PIN was entered. Long story short, the "C" drive (SSD) was removed and the necessary data recovered.

This machine also had another, separate SSD (i.e. the "D" drive). The machine was reimaged without the "D" drive being installed.

Problem now is that the "D" drive is inaccessible due to Bitlocker. I am able to get a recovery ID, but the 48-digit recovery key is rejected. I'm not sure if the recovery key being generated by the Bitlocker "site" is, in fact, for the "C" drive.

I'd appreciate ANY help/suggestions that can be offered.

NOTE: I have tried the manage-bde -protectors -get command and it generates the same recovery ID as the site.

Thank you.

How to delete D drive encrypted by Bitlocker without password or recovery key?

There's a Dell PC running Windows 10 in my office that a previous user had that they created an encrypted D drive with Bitlocker. The guy has left and nobody has proper contact with them.

I don't care about the data on the D drive I just want to delete the drive off the PC. Steps I have already taken are:

• Reinstall Windows
  
• Reset the PC with the options "Remove everything" and "Only drives where windows is installed"
  

When I chose the option "All drives" I get an error saying "There was a problem resetting your PC".

Can anyone provide instructions on how to delete the D drive encrypted with Bitlocker?
