Atlassian ended support for gadgets in Confluence 7.0 and completed their removal in Confluence 9.0 to reduce technical debt. 

In Confluence 9.0, pages that were using gadgets show a grey ‘Unknown macro’ placeholder where gadgets were embedded:

Gadgets moved to a Marketplace app from Confluence 9.2 onwards | Confluence Data Center 9.3 | Atlassian Documentation
