Is there a program that will delete old file path information for deleted files?

After running CCleaner to wipe free space on a drive, when I then run Recuva to scan for deleted files on a drive, all of the old file path information is still shown for the deleted files on the drive in question which were overwritten by CCleaner. This concerns both Windows 7 & Windows 10 PC's.

CCLeaner probably isn't wiping the MFT free space as well as the actual free space on this disk. Later versions of CCLeaner should be able to wipe both. The MFT is probably where recuva is getting the file information from
