Windows 10: Is D:\ drive corrupted?

Last night when I booted up my computer a pop up started on my computer saying my D drive’s recycle bin was corrupted I couldn’t access it either . I did a cmd which was recommended and afterwards I could access but it used 100% data usage to the point of causing a restart and then a lot of .exes stopped working. The C drive is fine as are my externals which were hooked up. So my question is does this all mean my D drive is corrupted? And if so should I wipe it to fix it or is it unsalvageable and I should remove it to prevent further damage?
