On the upside, they specified D: drive which is typically a lesser used bulk storage drive, so less activity to potentially overwrite the files marked as deleted

It's not necessarily a "bulk storage" drive, it's just not the main system drive. It would probably have less activity than the "C" drive, but other than the OS, plenty of other things might be installed on that drive. If it happens to be where someone installed their web browser, there could be plenty of churn there.
