recuva works great and finds files and I can recover them. the problem is I want the files off my disk but can not locate them. I have run wipe on ccleaner and used Mil Shield to delete files yet recuva keeps finding them but only shows the location of C:? so I can not really go to that place and delete them. any suggestions anyone.

In Options\ Actions\ Recovering\ Secure overwriting, select Simple Overwrite (1 pass), ok.
Scan, right-click the results and select List view.
Click on the heading Path to sort files.
Hilite the C:\?\ items
Right-click and Secure Overwrite Highlighted
And here is a guide to using Recuva. http://www.piriform.com/docs/recuva
I don't know what 'run wipe' means. If you haven't, run Wipe Free Space (one pass) with Wipe MFT checked. That should overwrite all your deleted files.
