If you've also made sure the old securities are not on your Watch List,
and if you've tried changing the newest "Sell" transaction for one of your
problem securities so it sells "all shares in this account"; the only
other suggestion I can make is to try to "recalculate" the account
register(s) where the problem securities were held. You do that by
holding CTRL while pressing the letter "Z", in the Transactions tab of the
investment account (Quicken should then present a dialog box, asking if
you want to do the "recalculate").

[Naturally, you can Customize the Portfolio view and deselect those
securities. You can also "hide" the securities in the Securities List
(and insure you do not have the Security List option to "View hidden
securities" checked) - then you may still have to uncheck the securities
in the Portfolio tab Customize dialog (or uncheck "show hidden
securities).]
