That's why all of those deleted file finding or recovery apps work. When you delete a file the only thing that goes away is the TOC entry - the pieces of the file are still there until something else is written in their physical space. The files themselves are stored in small pieces on the drive partition, and this sort of TOC records where the pieces of each file are physically on the drive. When you look at the files/folders in Windows Explorer what you're seeing is more-or-less the Table Of Contents for that drive partition. Select the file for CCleaner to shred.(For folders, simply choose the top option.)

Here's a quick look at how to add individual files, and folders are added in a similar fashion:
Then you can simply add this folder to CCleaner and it'll delete everything within the folder. The easiest way to manage this feature (if you want to shred files on a regular basis) is to set up a folder where you can dump files you wish to permanently delete.
To access the file shredder in CCleaner, you'll need to go to Options > Include to add any folders or files you wish to have CCleaner securely delete on its next system scan and delete pass.
CCleaner need to be configured to handle the secure deletion of files, but once that's set up you'll be good to go. The suite also handles file deletion with random overwriting, so if you already have it installed you don't need to install another tool to carry out shredding. CCleaner (opens in new tab) is one of the best tools for checking what files are taking up valuable space on your PC.
