Once I wipe a drive I can still read all the original file names. The contents are now junk but file names are intact.
Is there an automated way to rename the files ?
If not how do I go about actually removing these files?
Did you tick "Wipe MFT Free Space" in CCleaner's Settings?

You must be using WFS option.
Edit: Removed potentially harmful advice.
Mr Don, I've removed what could be very destructive advice to the o/p. As far as we can tell he is running wfs. What you have advised would remove all his live data at the very least, which he probably doesn't want. You are an established member with high technical competence so please be careful to establish the user's requirements before recommending this method.
