Error description

• Customer Info:
  Case Description:
  When opening a model, RSAD displays a dialog box indicating the
  model has broken references. When I try to clean up the errors I
  can't find them in Project Explorer to resolve.
  
  There are references to an old model that I believe was
  incorrectly renamed a long time ago. I'm trying to either do a
  quick fix on the references or simply delete them entirely from
  the model. I can do neither.
  
  The client added that no matter what he does, he cannot find a
  broken reference to API Management_.emx in the Project Explorer
  view. He believes these broken references were created during an
  incorrect refactor/rename going back a long time. Tried
  validating objects, checking the "Mark Problems.." box in the
  Broken References Dialog box, searching for the string API
  Management_, and whatever else he could try, but he can't find
  an actual instance.
  
  He has looked in the .xml file as well and can see the reference
  but not in the Project Explorer.
  
  Many errors are marked with the "red X" decorator but none are
  on an object with a broken reference to "API Management_.emx.
  
  
  Support Info:
  Client uses RSAD4WS v9.6.1
  
  Have replicated the issue of the client and also got stuck on
  the locating the broken reference to API Management_.emx.
  Checked the .xml and see that there is the API Management_ tags.
  Noticed also that there are also missing profiles that even when
  packages are modified, it is still unavailable.
  
  Kindly asking for assistance on what to do next.
