    You should be able to locate them using the macOS search features. I can't provide direction because file locations vary depending on system OS edition.

    Thanks for your interest. What I discovered is that if you rt click on the icon to the left of the entry in the errored list, you get a show in finder dialog. That takes you to the stale file which I then deleted. All is clean now. User's image

    These are innocuous & can be ignored. If you want to remove them click the circled question mark User's image

    which should provide a Show in Finder option then delete the item.
