There are 3 TXT records we do not recognize in our account. Are these from Cloudflare or something we might of set up at some point and not realized/remembered? Looked suspicious. Thanks for any recommendations.
They 3 TXT records are:
Cloudflare doesn’t automatically create DNS Records that would be visible in your dashboard without some action on your part. You could try reviewing Audit Logs: Review audit logs · Cloudflare Fundamentals docs, but these may have been created a while ago (or even imported from your old DNS host, if you migrated).
Probably for verification, someone created at some point
Important for Email, I wouldn’t touch them unless you know what you are doing, not suspicious:

Thanks @Chaika for your comments. I’m the only person who has ever had access to this DNS. We went ahead and deleted Heroku. I believe we should delete the other two as well. The only email sending we do is through Google Workspace and ConvertKit. I checked with CK and these are not for them. I can’t seem to find anything to support these being a part of our Google Workspace email either, but unsure. Any thoughts there?
I’m wondering if these were something I added a long time ago before we used Google Workspace. We also had some godaddy CNAME records in there that I know were pretty old and not needed anymore.
I did check audits and could not find matching logs for these.
Unless you want email delivery problems, do not delete your DKIM or SPF records. Your DKIM contains a public, not a private key. Both are probably from your Google Workspace setup.
