Hello rpmcq57,
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
WSAC has System Optimizer which does not clean free space. And there is System Cleaner Remotely
Other then that I am not aware of Free space cleaning, You might just need a third party program for that.

Hi rpmcq57
Welcome to the Community Forums.
Just to add to what Sherry has posted...WSA does indeed not provide a feature to securely wipe free space on a hard disk. There are several reputable applications out there that will do this but I suspect that the best one for you will be CCleaner, a general purpose system utility that does have such a feature hidden on it Tools > Drive Wiper. A number of members, including myself, regularly use CCleaner and it is a reputable app.
As always I would counsel care when attempting any such cleaning, which can take a goodly deal of time depending on how much free space you have on the disk in question.
Regards, Baldrick
