Hi

Sorry about this. As you said we would still have a link to this deleted article somewhere on your site, I guessed it would then show up on our sh404SEF dashboard as an internal 404 from our French pages. There are only two 404s with 'fr/', neither of which are this one.

One question - why does the meta data for this French page repeat the meta data from the English home page? (I see this on a lot of pages).

No it should not. The link for this URL is /fr/ which is a valid link and is displayed on the SEF URLs listing.

What I mean is that you have somewhere on your site something that has a link to index.php?option=com_content...&id=139... When Joomla sees this link, it tries to convert it to SEF before displaying the page, asks sh404SEF to transform it, and sh404SEF turns it into /fr/, because the article has been deleted.

pages on the 404 errors listing do not exist. They do not have any non-sef URL and do not have any meta data - because they do not exist. What you see when you open a modal to modify the 404 is just default data. sh404SEF is waiting for you to enter a non-sef URL (index.php?option=...) that you think is the right one for this 404 error, if there exist one.
On your screenshot, this 404 is just some random bad URL, with 'A=0 at the end, just a bad linked entered most likely, and it should not have any non-sef URL added for it.
