You're right that rm won't be enough, and the "Success!" isn't really a success.
But likely shred won't even work, because SSDs overwrite other blocks when you perform a write operation, for wear leveling. I'm not sure if there's any hope of erasing something from an SSD besides physically destroying the SSD.
