Windows 10: Help with formatted drive

I decided to format my D drive as it was essentially useless after I did something, and now that it's formatted there are no folders of course, and I'm wondering how I can add folders to the D drive, such as adding users, and my name fstre, and downloads/documents folders, and that kind of thing

Format an external Drive.

Hello Roger,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

I would suggest you to follow the below steps to format the drive you are referring to.

• Right Click on Start menu and select Open Computer Management.
  
• 
  In the left pane, under Storage, click Disk Management.
  
• 
  Right-click the volume that you want to format, and then click Format.
  
• 
  To format the volume with the default settings, in the Format dialog box, click
  OK, and then click OK again.
  

Note: You cannot format a disk or partition that is currently in use, including the partition that contains Windows.

Hope it helps.

Thank you.
