I stupidly installed the intel rapid storage technology driver onto my PC and after found out that you only need it if you use raid, which i don't use, only got a 1tb hdd with 120gb ssd. I wanted to uninstall it, but got a error upon restarting my computer, but luckily managed to get it back to normal with a system restore i did before uninstalling it. Now i was just wondering what all these random files are doing on my D: drive(pics linked below), which is my 1tb hdd.

Folders from your C: drive?

nope, those folders are on my D: drive which is my mass storage for games. 

The C: drive is the ssd with my OS installed

It's not required for RAID, I mean I have it installed to just keep an eye on my drives while my PC is on. No harm in it. 

I would prefer it not be on my system though, to get rid of those files to make it look cleaner

touche, hmmmm.... Are you able to just delete them or are you getting an error? Also, have you turned on/off viewing all files and folder in windows recently? That could be why they are showing up

@Yames I found a restore I did before installing the Intel rapid storage technology driver and just restored it. Then just deleted the files that were in my D: drive. And all fixed :)
