Replaced footage in Bin reverts to old footage after saving and closing Premiere

Move the socalled preview files to a different disk.

I tried making the preview files offline first and then replace them with the licensed footage and it STILL reverts back to the preview file

@Ann Bens In the bin i right-clicked on the footage and selected Replace footage, which I then replace with a file on my disk. The preview files were added from a CC library and somehow it reverts back to those links every time i close/open the project

@Glenda29038675honx I cleared all the cache and saved the project with a new name, the issue still persists unfortunately

How did you replace footage?

Hello,

I deleted all the cache files and it still opens the project with the preview files

I am assuming you are clearing your media database and cache.    I can't explain it from a diagnostic perspective, but from a solution perspective:  have you tried saving your project with a new name (using Save As instead of just save)?   I am wondering if it will be resolved with a name change.     

Have you tried dumping the cache files after you replace the files? Before opening the project again?
