I was using Abylonsoft Shredder Advanced for the last one month.
It is a shareware program and the demo period has expired.

It had an option of shredding the free space in the drives i.e it scans the free space in the harddisk and replaces all the data in that freespace with zero's or with other junk data. By this method, it will make recovery of deleted files impossible. So, the files that you did not want anyone to see will forever be deleted.
Many a times, I have mistakenly Shift+Del a file and later realised that I should have had shredded that file instead.
This feature of the program made it possible to shred the deleted files.

My question: Is there any freeware program which has the same functionality?
 
Try using CCleaner "CCleaner is a freeware system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. Additionally it contains a fully featured registry cleaner. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!"

I know you might how does this help, in CCleaner go to Options -> Settings -> In there you have options for Secure Deletion, use can use either Normal or Secure file deletion(Simple Overwrite 1pass/DOD 3 pass/NSA 7 pass/Gutmann 35 passes). Also has option below that Wipe Free Space Drives and Wipe MFT Free Space, overall it's a free utility

Hope thie helps
