Download and try Recuva

Also as ccleaner doesn't delete or clean things in the ''my pictures'' folder where were your pics stored?

If you had any of CCleaner's secure delete modes enabled they will unfortunately be forever lost.

If you still have those pictures on your digital camera, or a USB Thumb drive that were deleted normally (not securely deleted) you could try Recuva on that.

If you deleted the files to the recycler and then deleted them they may well have been renamed by Windows. Sort the Recuva list by date and look for the pics there, or filter by name, $D.... for XP or $R... for Vista. If no luck try a deep scan, but tha will take some time and return far more files.
