I made a terrible mistake while formatting my friend's laptop. I formatted his C drive but mistakenly deleted his drive D. After formatting, and I went to Disk Management. I made a new partition out of the allocated space. That's when my friend told me that his games and pictures were on his drive D. I was wondering if there was any way I could recover those files and what software I would use.

As you said, you accidentally deleted your friend's D drive, and all its data is gone. Given that you want to recover lost pictures from D drive with software, I recommend using EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, which is professional in recovering photos, files, games, and other documents due to deletion.
Three steps to recover data with EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard:
Step 1. Launch EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard on your computer. Select 'Lost Partition' and click 'Scan'.
Step 2. Use the filter to locate the wanted files quickly. Or type the file name you remember in the search box.
Step 3. Preview the files or photos to ensure they are the ones you want, and click 'Recover' to save them to a safe place.
There is a kind reminder: keep backup routinely to avoid partition loss.
Developing a backup habit is the most effective way to avoid lost partitions. Just enable the Windows Backup functionality on your Windows computer to back up files automatically. Or follow the steps below:
Step 1. Open 'Settings'.
Step 2. Choose 'Update & Security' and click 'Backup'.
Step 3. Select 'Looking for an older backup' and then click 'Go to Backup and Restore'.
Step 4. Click 'Create a system image'.
