I registered on this forum solely for this question. I have asked many game-based forums, but I can't get a definite answer.
My Situation:
I bought this Lenovo Laptop and I have two Hard Disk Drives; [C:] & [D:], I never thought it would become a problem. However, over the year(s), many of the programs I have installed into [D:] automatically install stuff (like updates and such) into the [C:] as it is "the" default. My [C:] has become full many many times and I'm lost on what to do.
My Thoughts:
Someone on a forum told me that I don't have two Hard Drives, just a split Hard Drive. He told me to delete [D:] and to expand the [C:]. At that time, I had a lot of important information and I had no way to back it up, so I did the usual and cleaned up [C:] by using Advanced System Care and disk clean-up. I don't know if he's right or not, I don't want to open up my laptop because I'm a complete buffoon around technology. At this point, I'm willing to delete almost all my stuff and start anew.
Questions:
I hope this question gets answered and I haven't wasted anyone's time. Thanks for reading.

EDIT: Ah, I found the word, partitioning, is my hard drive partitioned?
Extra Information I'm randomly giving:
I guess it is?

Questions:
- How can I check if I have two "Hard Drives" without physically opening my Laptop?
- Is deleting [D:] advisable?
- Is there a different option than doing this?
- Is there way to back-up my stuff in [D:] without having a external hard drive?
