I checked out Fiction Press, and it is a no woman's land between writers' workshop and writers' showcase. With very few exceptions, "unpublished" means never published anywhere (it is okay, however, to work on a piece in an online writers' workshop). Now that you have taken them down, I'd go ahead with the submissions. If an editor tracks them down through a search engine, your defense can be that you considered FP a workshop. But in the future, I wouldn't put anything there that I intended to submit.
