[Can't install Recuva]

You can also use the portable version of Recuva. Since it doesn't need to be installed just unzip the file in your chosen directory and run it. That's it.

[Cleaning $MFT on an NTFS drive]

If you want to wipe deleted and securely deleted files, including MFT entries (e.g., file names), download the freeware:

 

Revo Uninstaller

It comes in both installed and portable versions. Open it, go to Tools -> Tracks Cleaner (at bottom) -> Evidence Remover, select the desired drive and run it. Once done, run Recuva and you'll see that everything's gone. Just beautiful and safe.
