No, not every drive has a recycle bin on display, not on
my computer. I could do with one less folder on the D
drive directory. How can I remove it?

go to your main recycle bin (on your desktop) and the folder should
actually be there. if so, empty the recycle bin.

however, if it's a couple of hidden folders with
S-1-awholebunchanumbers-234 or something similar, I think those are
system folders and you cant get rid of them. hide your hidden files if
you want it to be "tidy".
