Windows 10: Storage

I've been having a lot of issues lately so I followed a tutorial on YouTube on how to download Windows on a thumb drive and then reset my computer, I did that and now my d drive is gone, when I clicked install I clicked custom install and I think I might have accidentally deleted my d drive, I use to have a c drive with about half a terabyte in it and a d drive with one terabyte in it, now i just have one c drive with a terabyte and I've lost half a terabyte of storage, anyone know how I can fix this?
