Would any of the above still do the job if you "shredded" your deleted files?

eg...they had been done using CCleaner ..
Secure file deletion..
Gutmann (35 passes) ?

No. They won't do the job if the files have been written over once, never mind 35 times (which btw, is needlessly over the top).

On the subject, are there any programs like win-cleaner that just blast any unused parts of the disk, leaving anything with data intact? (Free, of course) I know that dban can destroy all data.
