The domain was registered in November 2022, but has history going back to 2009 so those links may have been from a previous site associated with the domain (including Chinese nameservers which may be the reason for the links).

Your domain currently isn’t proxied anyway so Cloudflare only provides DNS for your site.

is there way to go about deleting those Chinese name servers and migrating the domain to a new name server. a big worry is that the google search console pulled a prettyinpolish.com/downoad URL. i don’t have a path link currently, we may want to use that path in the future

Those records are historic, your current nameservers are for Cloudflare. I assume those links don’t work and should return a 404 so Google should stop listing them, but that’s for your SEO people to deal with.
