Update Resolved:

if it helps anyone....

Open the old projects YYP file in notepad

in that file use Edit>Find to find references to all those files shown which cant be found and delete them

For example in the image above the first file was:
views\0ad6f30b-b6e2-4c64-b17d-ed3d7faf0a6d.yy
So in your .YYP file find
Java:
        {

            "Key": "0ad6f30b-b6e2-4c64-b17d-ed3d7faf0a6d",

            "Value": {

                "id": "65fe8ff1-0562-46ca-985f-e007a9f6f997",

                "resourcePath": "views\\0ad6f30b-b6e2-4c64-b17d-ed3d7faf0a6d.yy",

                "resourceType": "GMFolder"

            }

        },
And just delete it.

Do the same for all the views files not found and then save it.

Now try and load in and convert the old GMS2 project and should work.

Maybe not the right solution, but got no reply on here or support ticket so tried this.
