Hi wandoo,

Welcome

This is a "extra" good question. Actually they are all good.

Lots of chatters on the Web.

As far as CCleaner goes, if you use some other program to delete the messages then CCleaner doesn't know anything about them.

I am not a chatter so I don't have any details to give you.

Most files that were recently created and then deleted by any method are overwritten very soon by newer files.

You can use Piriform' Recuva program to overwrite all old deleted files once a month or so. I do in case I forget some "banking " information or such. It runs very quickly. One (1) overwrite is sufficient.

It not only can be used to "recover" deleted files but can also be used to "overwrite" deleted files as well.
