Will CCleaner get rid of deleted excel files with financial info on them? Thanks for any help on this.

No.

Use Sysinternals' "sdelete -z" to clean slack space.

If you try Eraser, use version 5.7. I found 5.8 to be buggy (and it's now listed as beta which I'm sure it wasn't when they released it)
