After updating windows i now have a Local Disk D: partition showing in 'This PC' wondering where it came from and what it is for? My OCD is tingling.

I have the same problem... It's very annoying because Windows always complains about low disk space
D: is not supposed to be visible, it is a Recovery partition.
From Disk Management: Right click on D: ->Change Drive Letter and Path... ->Remove

Oh ok, is that also the reason windows keeps telling me there is low space on 'Local Disk D:' because it is visible.
Cannot seem to find the option you have suggested.
*Oh i see now, in the Disk Management utility. When i right click on it all i get is a Help icon.
No, that's not the reason.Oh ok, is that also the reason windows keeps telling me there is low space on 'Local Disk D:' because it is visible.

Sorry, I forgot this is a special type of partition, Cannot do it from disk management. We have to use diskpart.
Open Admin command prompt: Win+X->Command Prompt(Admin) then type:
Remove Drive Letter in Windows 10 Windows 10 Tutorials
diskpart
select disk 0
select partition 1
remove
exit

Thanks for the help worked a charm, i used the steps below for anyone with the same problem as 'select disk/partition' did not work for me.
1. Open Windows PowerShell (Admin)
2. Type in "diskpart" and press enter
3. Type in "list vol" and press enter
4. Find which volume listed D: and type in "select volume #" where # is a number
5. Type in "remove" then press enter and D: will be removed from File Explorer
I had the same thing happen to me on my NVMe production PC. I used MiniTool Partition Wizard (MTPW) (free version). Same kind of approach: right-click on improper volume, select "Change Letter" from pop-up menu, then select "None" as the letter to be assigned. I know this works, because I've already done it myself.
HTH,
