ccleaner has folder and file erase function
For the cache you browse to it with
Add folder function and it erases the contents as you have already done.
For history and cookies you browse to them using
Add file button. they have those names
To find them - easy way is to right click on K_Meleon program file folder and run search or look at bottom link in this post.
I don't use official version so can't remember if they are txt or dat files or both - just erase any you find and new ones will be regenerated next time you start k-meleon
This is a bit crude for cookies because it erases the lot you can't select which ones to keep.
Flash Cookies also need erasing you can do this securely with
ccleaner also, on xp they are in your user application data folder in macromedia folder. I see them both in macromedia.com subfolder and shared object folder
Read this about flash cookies ccleaner is mentioned in the comments below

Any secure eraser with a custom file folder option will do that job to an extent however BcWipe is far better than ccleaner because it also remove file names from the mtf table and cleans file cluster tips and the swap file, but it ain't free.
Basically you can overwrite files with many so called "secure" erasers cleaners but they leave the files names to easily be read by even simple recovery software like disk investigator freeware

But obviously in time much data and traces of it gets overwritten by everyday usage on a pc
The swap files also needs securely erasing - so on and on it goes
Address Bar url mru's are stored in pref.js but obviously you can't delete that file.
when you clear those you are deleting text from within a file, I think it would be rather hard to recover those deleted mru's as opposed to recovering an entire .txt file that has been deleted without overwriting.
See here for passwords etc

Freeware to spot flash cookies but it doesn't look like it overwrites them it just deletes
