12.3GB something in empty partition

windows 10 x64 , WD 1 tera HDD, with GPT partitions

what “space hog” is in my ( empty ) D drive

Why is Windows showing 12.3GB space being used but there are only ($RECYCLE.BIN and System Volume Information) together 129bit

PS.page file and hiberfile seems to be in C:partition
C:hiberfil.sys 3 125 664 Kb
C:pagefile.sys 1 245 184 Kb
