It might happen that your system cannot distinguish between C-d and 
Backspace, so you better first check what that keys is by entering C-h 
k and then pressing the backspace key. Use this name then for:

        (global-set-key [<NAME>]        'delete-backward-char)

Pressing Esc-backspace or M-backspace should automatically delete 
backward a whole word.

Pressing C-h b you'll see the keybindings in an extra *Help* buffer.
