I created small site for a test, just for fun, with very starnge software called hyperv or something like that. Before uploading it to server I removed pages that i didn't want and fixed all links in frontpage. After some time google finaly started to crawl it, very slow and found 50 non exixsting pages, that don't show up in any link or on any of my sites page. Anybody knows what could it be?

Not quite sure what you mean.

Are you saying 50 non-existant URLs in a serp?

Had these pages EVER existed (you mentioned removing some)?

Are any of these alternate URLs to existing pages?

What happens when you click on them?

Either way, take a good hard look at what actually got uploaded; check your navigation (use xenu), and check for hidden links on your code (eg image links that frontpage may have macerated).

Thanks for advice. Pages existed when i first uploaded my site, but then i removed them and changed links on all existing pages, checked about hundred times and when google crawled pages they where not on the server and there were no links to them. I submitted sitemap to google after i removed those pages and they were not in the sitemap either, and suddenly i see that all those pages ar listed as error 404 url not found. Wierd)) I'll check again
