Will reset Windows 10 delete my files in other drives?

Resetting your PC reinstalls Windows but deletes your files, settings, and apps—except for the apps that came with your PC. You will lose your files if you have installed Windows 8.1 Operating System on D drive. If you haven’t installed the Operating System on D drive, then you will not lose any files in D: drive.

Does resetting Windows 10 Remove everything selected only remove the data on the drive where Windows is installed C <UNK> or does it also remove other drives as well D <UNK>?

when u are resetting the windows 10 will ask remove everything and keep my files. in first option it will delete all the files in program files but it not delete whole c drive(downloads,videos,desktop,music files are safe). only the drive where windows is installed. (delete only c drive).
