I have a question, I do not redirect non-existent URL, wait until Google will remove them as non-existent. A year has passed and I see all the time in the 404 links url previous domain owner (every day, week coming new). How can I get Google removed these links? Maybe can set the code 410, but if so how? Can anything be set in the configuration sef404SEF? I will be grateful for your response. My error page configurations is on screenshot.
I do a lot of work on my site xxxx.pl, I mean seo work, have map, removed duplicated sites, have sef url with canonical, descriptions for google, part is set no index, no follow, I have robots txt, redirections, set google search console, etc and still on 100 + positions. I suppose that reasons is many, maybe 400 sites previous domain owner urls, I do nothing with them, just wait but now is one year...
So please tell me what you think, what can I do

That's absolutely what you should do, unless you have moved a page to another address, but the page is the same, only the address change.

How can I get Google removed these links?

You can't. Google (and bing, etc) will refetch 404 for usually a year at least. They want to be sure they are real 404s before removing them.

A year has passed and I see all the time in the 404 links url previous domain owner

Ah you mean you moved your site from an old domain to a new one?

Are you sure those 404 come from Google? there are many sites that index content from Google, so they won't update their links before a long time, maybe never.

Yes I am sure 404 come from Google, this is example frome Google search console 404:

http://www.xxxx.pl/aukcje-sztuki/43-dokumentyrekopisy/599-rekordowe-ceny-za-dziela-mistrzow.html

Domain is still xxxx.pl, but is another website, cus I bought domain xxxx.pl and I buildt new www site.
And still, after a year coming new (old owner) 404 URL

Another example

aukcje-sztuki/43-dokumentyrekopisy/599-rekordowe-ceny-za-dziela-mistrzow.html

on sh404SEF non url be displayed

but on 404 line on screen shot. Its old url from old domain owner, more than 1 year before

Second question is I have about 400 urls but on site map just 70, many urls like:

comments/rss/com_virtuemart/110
comments/rss/com_virtuemart/111
comments/rss/com_virtuemart/112

just remove urls or must tourn off something (in php)? I do not have any rss module active.

But most important is for me google posiotion, still 100 +, its worth site, good artist and ...

So maybe some cleaning url, duplicate could help

1 - That's perfectly fine. That page, http://www.xxxx.pl/aukcje-sztuki/43-dokumentyrekopisy/599-rekordowe-ceny-za-dziela-mistrzow.html, gives a real 404 error page when requested, so there is nothing more you can do. They will drop it.

Maybe you had sh404SEF on the old site, you changed the site content, but you did not remove the old URL from the URL manager?
Even without that, this URL gives a 404, so there is no problem. You can just test yourself, paste it into your browser and see the response code.

What site map?

That's not related to sh404SEF, I can't answer that.
