Simply speaking, its just a task you do to tell "Google-bot, I dont have or want that page anymore, stop crawling it in the future". Thus, avoid you from being penalised for having too many 404 crawl errors. In G-Wmastertools Crawl errors page, you can check where the errors were "Linked from". If there were any external-links and you want to savor the link-juices, then Redirect 301 is a good resolve. If not, than just remove the 404 errors. Just a note: “all 404s are bad and should be redirect” is a MYTH because too much redirects slows your site down. WHY would you want to remove 404 errors?
