Data D drive is nie on full. How can I free some space?

I can't see clearly from the screen shot but it appears you have 41% ( about 48Gb)of drive C: unused. Could you transfer some files now temporarily to there until you get your external drive ? after which time Hannah's suggestion is ideal.

Usually D drive does not contain any system elements, unless the installation paths are changer to D. For getting sure, follow what kado897 suggested in the post Data D drive is nie on full. How can I free some space? .

If there is no system or program elements in D drive, just move its items into the external one.

There is no other way to free up the space of D drive, other than either deleting items or moving those to other locations. Ccleaner can clean up C drive, but not D.

You need to describe in more detail what is on D:. If you are using it for Windows Backup and Restore and have the "let Windows choose" option then you can easily start to fill up a drive. In this case you are best to self manage at least your images.
