Project Inspector > Add > Add Editor Files > gives a list of files
that have been deleted long ago and no longer part of the project, but
I can't get rid of them. Any suggestion?

Laz1.8.0 / FPC3.0.4 / Win8_64

Do they still exist on disc? If not then it sounds like a bug, but if
they do then they're valid candidates for being added.

A right-button operation meaning "I don't care where this suggestion
came from, I don't want to see it again" might be desirable,
/particularly/ where it refers to a file which is in some
configuration file list but doesn't actually exist any more.

The files do not exist in the project folder nor anywhere on the disc.
However their names show up in the project session file (.lps)

Then delete the session file (or rename it so that you can restore it
if my advice should turn out to be bad). it contains the opened file,
cursor positions in them etc - nothing which is a big loss when you
don't have it any more.

Deleting the session file .lps did not solve the problem. However
editing the same and removing the sections with the undesired file
names fixed the problem. On the other hand the .lpi file has  the
correct file names and number.  If that was not a bug what could  have
it been?

Check the project option that determines where session information is
stored.

... which, in case you don't know, can be reached through the menu:
