WinUndelete shows lots of deleted files. I've tried zapping them

somewhere it's reading or are the free space cleaners just not
working?

Of course it does. That is its job, BUT the files are not taking up
space in windows. You cannot zap them because as far as the Operating
System is concerned they are no longer there.

If you do not understand this concept I suspect you do not really need
Winundelete, and should go back to Plain old Recycle Bin.
