(OP)
What does this mean and how do I get rid of them?

RE: "?" Mark Displayed Next To Feature Name In Feature Tree

Are the question marks out to the right?  That usually means that you have in-context references in the part, but the document that the references are defined in is not open.  For example, if you have a hole pattern in a plate that is defined in the context of an assembly but the assembly is not open, you will get question marks on that feature.

Go to Help > SolidWorks Help Topics > Contents > FeatureManager Design Tree Conventions to see all the convention icons.

You, more than likely, have in-context relationships. Before you start removing them, you need to find out what/where. If you don't, you could end up in a heap of trouble.
As everyone above me mentioned, look in your help files. If, after that, you still have problems. Come back and let us know.
