Hello friends,

Does Wiping free space improve performance of the computer? Has anyone tried it?

No, it doesn't.

Silly me! It says the same here too. Sorry for asking such a noob question lol. Feeling awkward!

Ordinarily, that won't make an appreciable difference (especially with SSDs), since Windows does this by default every week.

Beside which the OP's question was about wiping free space...
