I think that you are asking if using a file wiping program will delete your browsing history and cache. If that is not your question, please provide more information.

A file wiping program, used correctly, will remove your history and cache. You would need to identify the history and cache directories. This will vary on which browser(s) you are using.

If you are really paranoid you could wipe out the entire drive. That will erase your history and cache and EVERYTHING ELSE. You would then have to reinstall your operating system and applications. If your data was not backed up, it will be gone forever.

If you are just trying to free up some space, do not use a wipe program. All the browsers I am familiar with have settings to clear out history and cache.

Where do the deleted files in the history go?

Usually, when we delete files, it is sent to what we call "Recycle Bin". A temporary storage for deleted files. Just like a purgatory for files. But where do history go? When we delete items on recycle bin, they were split into very very tiny pieces what we call fragments. Same as the deleted history. These fragments can be replaced and top over another fragments. Fragments are useful factor to recover accidental delete files. But is also harmful if hackers recovered these files. In large business companies, they use a special wiping tool to wipe the drive with a specific number of time. Wiping can permanently delete some fragments.
