Ok, that's interesting, and very useful. I hadn't picked up on those discussions with my search, possibly because they sat in general, not backup and restore.
Courses 465 and 21 still exist. It's the activities 7506/7/8 that no longer exist on the course... I guess next step is to drill through my database and see if they exist anywhere still. So I followed the steps re: recycle bin here: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=364963 . I've seen some discussion on editing this to remove modules causing errors if it was gradebook (just the id for that). At the moment I'm tempted to just change the unix timestamp and give myself some time to work out if I can delete safely.

I should probably mention that we have autobackup for course set off (we run a nightly site backup) and the previous admin set the config options so any manual backups go to course backup area not a specified file location.
