C-d (translated from <delete>) runs the command delete-char, which is
an interactive built-in function in `C source code'.

It is bound to C-d, <deletechar>.

(delete-char N &optional KILLFLAG)

Delete the following N characters (previous if N is negative).
Optional second arg KILLFLAG non-nil means kill instead (save in kill ring).
Interactively, N is the prefix arg, and KILLFLAG is set if
N was explicitly specified.
