Does ccleaner make your files unrecoverable when deleting files or recycle bins with ccleaner or do you need to wipe free space to make files unrecoverable
Augeas
Options/Settings/Secure Deletion/Secure File deletion/Simple Overwrite will tell CC to overwrite (almost) all files on deletion, making them unrecoverable. To overwrite files previously (unsecurely) deleted you will need to run Wipe Free Space.

How much free space do you have on the drive you are wiping? What is the write speed for the drive?
