Windows 10: I think my 'D' drive might be broken.

I've had my computer for almost a year now and I've encountered multiple problems with my 'D' drive. Any game I put on it seems to not function properly.

For example; I downloaded Fortnite on to it since my 'C' drive was too full to put anything on it, however, when I did so, multiple errors occurred meaning I am unable to play it. Another example is when I downloaded Steam and put my Steam games in 'D' drive. They wouldn't function properly and even when I tried downloading the Steam games they would continuously have errors while downloading.

I have 1.7 terabytes left in it and I don't have a lot of space on my 'C' drive, which is why I'm downloading everything onto 'D' drive in the first place.

Also, I have already done a ton of chkdsk and virus scanning using Kaspersky Internet Security and although they work, after a few days an error occurs and I have to scan the drive again and sometimes it says the drive has no problems when it clearly does.

low disk space warning on d drive

Thank you for the response. I think you are right, I'm not sure I ever saw a D drive listed before. I tried what you advised but I don't have the option to select volume D. I hit remove=d but it says arguments invalid. Am I doing something wrong, any
other suggestions. Thanks

 

Duplicate D:\ drive

I never had to deal with junctions so I haven't a clue what to suggest. I'm thinking that the problem is on the D: drive. If it is than I don't see why saving the files and formatting the D: drive wouldn't work. If It's something on the C: drive causing this than I have no Idea what to try.
