What is "wrong" about them?

 

[DRaver]

They are all dead links.

It's generally safe to leave them (as we discussed before).

Otherwise, you locate them, and delete them manually.

Indeed. Or, it's generally safe to leave them.

To leave hundret dead links is very bad vor Seo.
Maybe someone has an idea to delete the links. Perhaps using SQL.

These aren't dead links. They both resolve to web pages. The first actually displays a video (so there is content there). The second shows an image saying that the (original) has been moved or deleted.

Although these may not display what was originally intended, they aren't actually broken and so won't affect SEO.

And wouldn't, anyway

@DRaver,

All external links by default are set to rel="nofollow" so there should be no impact on SEO.

Going forward, if you enable the Image Proxy (and set it to store indefinitely) then this will ensure a copy of the images are stored on your server in case the original image breaks in future.
