This icon appears when you remove a song from iCloud Music Library on a different computer. Songs that you delete from iCloud Music Library are immediately deleted from associated iOS devices, but stay on other associated computers until you manually delete them.

The fix is easy: copy the tracks to a folder on your desktop, remove their entries from your library, and put the tracks back in iTunes.
