A few folks find unexpected content in their Reading List.
When you check the "Manage Blogs I'm Following" wizard, you get a list of the blogs that you Follow, with the Settings link for each.
Oddly enough, these mysterious blogs - that you can't remember Following - won't be listed, under the observed title, on the "Manage" wizard display.
Some blogs, for one reason or another, will redirect their feeds to another blog or website.
Other blogs may simply no longer publish a feed. In some cases, this will leave people seeing completely unrecognised - or unwanted - content, in their Reading List.
Fortunately, it's not complicated to find these mystery blogs, and remove them from your Reading List.
Any unknown content, listed in the aggregated reading list, will also be listed in an individual entry underneath "All blogs". Just go down the list, overlooking the titles, one blog at a time, and you'll find the unwanted content.
Once you identify the titles of the blogs that contain the unwanted content, go to the "Manage Blogs I'm Following" wizard, find the problem blogs by title, and remove the unknown blogs.
Then contact the blog owners, and tell them the mistake that they made. Alternately, report the gullible blog owners, so Blogger Support can inform the owners.
How do I stop Following that blog? It's not listed, in "Manage Blogs I'm Following", and I never Followed it!

Comments
There is one that I deleted three times and it is still on my Dashboard whenever updated.
Help me out here - why do you (and others before you) keep asking about a "trash can"?
There is no trash can icon. Click on the "Settings" link, for the blog in question, to remove any blog.

Help me out here, please. The above post should describe your problem, from what I can see.
If you can't get your "Old Geezer" subscription problem resolved by following the above advice, can you please post in your forum discussion, so we can diagnose the problem that you have?
Did you look beneath "All blogs", for the individual problem blog?
When you find the problem blog, don't click on it. Note the title - then go to "Manage Blogs I'm Following" aka the gear icon, click on that, find the blog with matching title, and remove that entry.
