Ivan, I am just guessing, but the term non-existent is usually associated with an existence dependency. I only checked a few out of 400 but on my main system every type 10 that I checked appeared to be an object that is referenced in stored code. -- I agree. Specifically, you get lots of these when -- you create a permanent object that depends on -- public synonym. At some point, you may create -- a local object that "conceals" the public synonym, -- at which point the thing that depends on the synonym -- has to become invalid and depend on the local object. -- To allow this to happen, you NEED a 'non-existent' -- object of the same name to exist, so that the permanent -- object can depend on its non-existence, and notice when -- it ceases to be non-existent. The object you are interested in has the word "queue" in its name. Is there any change that Advanced Queuing is or was in use on your system? If so then perhaps the answer on how to remove the objects is through the queue management packages.
