Can't Delete Files From Recycle Bin on D: Drive

I use my D: drive exclusively as a backup. I would like for it to
keep a few items in case I delete something by accident, but I want to
be able to empty it. I can't figure out how to empty it.

It does not have the trashbox icon like the "Recycled" folder on my C:
drive. It does not have an "Empty Recycle Bin" in the File Menu
dropdown like the one on the C: drive. I have tried several times to
delete the items in it. They go away when deleted as expected by they
keep coming back. They are like zombies, you can't kill them -- they
keep coming back to life.

Can anybody help?

Try deleting them through C's recycle bin.
