In audio settings I get a long list of devices, most of them no more used or duplicates.
How can I delete them?

This being a binary file I am not sure it can be that easily modified, let alone erased, but the Plasma devs for that part will be better suited to answer, I will try to get hold of someone

TDB (Trivial DataBase) can be inspected and manipulated with tdbtool from tdb-tools package. But i don't know if it is safe to delete entiries in the file without side effects ???

If you don't tick the 'show advanced devices' tickbox you won't be shown advanced devices.

And there you are wrong, the old bluetooth headset I binned 2 years ago still shows, and I don't have advanced devices checked, never had actually.
