External Links Won't Break

I've scoured the internet for solutions to this annoying problem, but no solution has worked so far. I made a copy of two tabs from another workbook, and placed them into my current book. Then, I adjusted all formulas pointing to the old workbook, to the new workbook. However, somewhere in my workbook, I still have external links to another file. I have tried going up to Data --> Edit Links, choosing the linked file and clicking Break Link, but it doesn't break the link.

I have tried searching for the bracket [ and the \ symbols in the tabs I copied over (and the whole workbook, really), but neither of them seem to find any formulas containing the characters. Has anyone ever encountered the issue where the external link would remain no matter what? I can turn off the notification so it doesn't appear when I open the file, but I'd rather just fix the issue.
