Can anybody help me? I am having trouble from removing the custom monsters on doom wads.

You will need to find the specific code lines that point to the new monsters.

Did you also delete the lines that link to the default monsters?

In this case, please present the file that contains the errors as an attachment.

No, I didn't remove the lines that link to the default monsters. I only removed the "#include "decorate/danmaku_demons.txt" in decorate.txt

Find their IDs and make a small Wad with a decorate that replace the New monsters with the old ones

Sorry, but I don't know what an ID is because I am new to Modding things. Could you just point me out where I could find the ID?

So what have you discovered yourself?

Here is a post explaining the several kinds of ID. In DECORATE, you can give monsters numbers, that is their ID.
Here is the main thread on discovering ID's.
Here is the Wiki page regarding spawn numbers.
Here is a useful thread regarding Spawn ID's, Spawn spots and the like.
