The only ways I can figure to find out what could remain in the DB in SaaS is by either checking Graph or to use the import/export. In the latter case you should export everything and look in the export for references to the block.

It appears as if your have some dangling references in the database, you'll need to proced via the help center. https://support.optimizely.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Start here and include a link to this thread in the post since it should contain all information they can possibly need.

If you can get the keys (GUIDs) for the content items in the error message, and you're comfortable with Postman, you can try to delete them using the CMS Rest API -- make sure to skip the trash (permanent = true), since (as you've seen) they won't show up there.
