I would like to shrink or remove the "D" but I'm not sure if the files that are on it are necessary to operation or not.

Your page file will just revert to C if you delete the D partition, I have no idea what all those other files are.
Just put them in a folder and put them on c, at least you`ll have them, whatever they are.
Possibly remnants of previous Windows Updates.
Folders with long random words and letters [Solved] - Hard Drives - Storage
They are the MD5 and/or SHA1 of the Windows Updates.
- This makes look-up faster and far more reliable as two different patches with the same name will not have the same hash/HMAC values.

If they are over 72 hours old, and you have restarted since they can be safely deleted.
The Disk Clean-up Wizard generally ignores these folders.
32 hexadecimal characters (numbers, including A-F) gives 2^128 values; which is quite a lot.
Windows Updates stores files in a certain place, they then usually get extracted to the volume with the most free space prior to installation.
So, what is the "Logical Drive"? That is what is says that the drive is.
