How to do clean up on D drive

[Angie]

MY D drive says that it's total size if like 680 MB and
free space availabe is 180 MB. Exactly how would I go
about doing a clean up on this as I would the C drive? Is
it even possible to do this? Thanks in advance for any
replies

Check those numbers again. A drive that small (under 1GB) hasn't
been made in a long time, and it's not very likely that you mean
680GB either.

Exactly how would I go
about doing a clean up on this as I would the C drive?

What is it you want to clean up there?

Open disk clean up,scroll to D: drive instead of default C:,then
clean up,run disk defrag after.You can also go to run,type:cmd
In cmd type:CHKDSK D: /F Agree to restart,then type:EXIT

Is your "D" drive a CD drive? Do you have a disk in it? Disk clean-up will
not work on a CD.

Yes my D drive is my CD-ROM drive. No, no disk is present
in it at all.

Since the system indicates that there is an amount of used disk space, for
some reason, it is remembering a disk that was in the drive. Try re-booting
and see if it still shows the same.

This was the CD-ROM drive...all of a sudden I noticed that
there was space allocated for this drive and it was
telling me how much space was available as compared to the
total drive space. I was wondering why, and how to clean
it up.
