Are you saying after you ran the shredder in SSD, Google desktop still surfaced your files? If so, how many passes did you set it for? I would suggest several, like 20 passes. I've never used this shredder, but I like to think it's somewhat effective.
Don't forget to run disk clean up first (XP system Tools). This will clean your temp files up as well as others. Select and delete them all and then under more options select clean up for these options. These files would not show up are free space to a shredder until you delete them so Google Desktop would surface them. Also, In Internet explorer, Delete ALL files under browsing history. And one more obvious one, empty the Recycle bin. Then run the Shredder.
A couple other suggestions:
Eraser

CCleaner
