CCleaner effectiveness on SSD

well as you know ccleaner deletes unwanted file from your pc but you can change the setting so that it can use nsa (7 passes secure deletion) this is good for sensitive documents or *cough* late night browsing*cough*
with magnetic storage up to 5 layers of data can be retrieved so if you overwrite something 4 times it may be salvageable but ccleaner uses 7 overwrites so we know we are safe there BUT with ssd is there anyway of recovering overwrited files? ect
cheers

Cew check out Eraser You can have it do up to 36 passes, plus much more. It is VERY powerful so be careful and make sure you know what you are doing.

It adds itself to the context menu as well, so you are just a right click away from a secure deletion of any file.
