I have just installed CCleaner and am wondering how to securely erase files and folders using this software. If I right-click on the Recycle bin the context menu shown includes "Run CCleaner". Is this it?

Yes,, and in options you can choose how many passes when it does it's clean up, that option is global when cleaning up. There are options to also do folders etc, but I don't use it.
I also recommend Eraser.
