Unable to Update Components - Across All Documents

Hello,
I have a Design_System file in the cloud where I stored all my main components (colours rs, fonts, buttons, etc). This file is Published, Up to date, with no errors. 
Recently, while working on a mobile interface on a separate file, I added a fresh component from the design_system that I just created (mobile hamburger menu). Few moments later after making changes to the main component on the design_system file, I've noticed the the I can't update the component because of an error.

 

Few days later after keep trying to fix this "unknown error" by reading lots of discussion on this great community. I've tried to create a separate file. add a different component, login-logout, update Adobe Xd, build component from scratch, etc.
On the mobile interface page, I've noticed that one component (folder-24px) has a broken link (red).
Right-click / Relink, 
Select Library to Relink!
    - My Design System library doesn't show up in the list,
    - Check Design System - Component exist!!
    - Select a different file where the component exists 3 times
    - Error: Link to asset doesn’t exist

 





Right-click Again / Relink again / Select different libray / Same Error - same with all available libraries
Right-click Again / Highlight on Canvas
    - 0 instances found
Right-click again / No option to Delete.

Basically I can't update all other components because of 3 broken components that I don't even use on this new file - mobile interface.
I understand that components can be nested in other components and can't be deleted because of that. But help me find those components where are nested so I can fix "the icon".  Or if the component has 0 instances found,  let me Delete it - I may know what I'm doing!

After opening many of my other pages, I've noticed that all of them have Updates available but none can be updated because "of an error".  All those pages are published but many of the compoonents are blue or even red link icons.
 - All of the components with red link can't be relinked because of the same error as above where the Library doesn't have them. None of them have an instances found and can't be deleted.

- All other components with a blue link can't be updated "because of an error".

At this point I feel stuck and I will apppreciate your help.

    Looking at a broke link icon (component) that can't be relinked, because none of the listed libraries that adobe xd find it in can't find the component in the end, as is in the red errors above:

     
    I wish I could drag and drop the above component over the below component (with broken link) and replace it everywhere in this document at the same posititon, size, transparency, even prototype actions, etc.

    For now, it has to be done one by one manually... Please help!
