I am trying to delete old display icons in the "Custom
Notifications" box (Start, Setting, Taskbar, Customize)
Many of those icons from the display are from old,
deleted files and software that no longer is on my
computer.
How can I delete them?
Thanks...

You can't delete them if they are under Past Items. Just forget about them. There will be duplicates, invalid and incorrect icons in that list. It's just a history list.
