WSS 3.0 to Sharepoint Foundation 2010: Potential Upgrade Blocking Issues

Question

I am running the pre upgrade checklist for WSS 3.0, and I get the following Potential Upgrade Blocking Issues: enter image description here

I have run the Sharepoint Cleanup Tool it found some invalid things and we removed those.

I also logged onto the sharepoint site and removed the webparts that reference these files, but I am still getting the error.

How can I remove these webparts or file references entirely as I am sure we do not use them.

did you uninstall the features or just delete the files on the server? — Waqas Sarwar MVP, Commented Jun 27, 2014 at 18:05
There was no un-install option under the webpart Edit Item page, only Delete. So they were deleted. as for a Windows level uninstall, I am unsure how they go there in the first place, we really have not added any custom anything to WSS, just install and go. — sec_goat, Commented Jun 27, 2014 at 18:11

I read that, the problem is: I don't know how or where they were installed, so I cannot re-install. I do not want, nor do i have the resources to build a new farm, and I have no idea how to find references to the content other than the places I mentioned in my original post.
