Deleted hairs show up as "bald" hairstyles in CAS? [SOLVED]

Hello, I've recently done a factory reset in my game and also cleaned up a lot of cc. I deleted all my Sims3Pack cc, eliminated some entirely, converted the rest into packages, put them inside Mods/Packages. I also deleted some cc which were already packages, so I don't know which one is causing this problem. I have also deleted by DCCache completely and didn't re-install my lots and sims, so it means any cc that came in them is also gone. Now my game loads and runs much smoother and I'm so happy except one tiny thing. In CAS, some of my previously deleted hairs (at least I think they're them) show up as bald styles. It's evident there is a bug at play here, I have like 8 styles that look like this now, which I didn't have before.
Do you have any idea why this is happening, and how I may get rid of this? I also have a similar situation with an outfit showing up invisible, and an eyeshadow that makes my sim's eye all white.

Edit: I just found this guide which says sometimes cc tends to stick to custom sims, and the only way to get rid of them completely is to remove the sim from the sim presets. I had deleted my custom sims too, but I still keep copies of some in my Sim library, so this must be the problem! I'll test this tomorrow when I open up my game again.

Edit2: My problem is SOLVED! Leaving the solution here in case someone searches for the same problem with hope for a solution. I was using Easy CASP Editor, and apparently I had to a "purge" in CASP, it's just a setting in the tool that takes forever (about 1 hr?) but it solved my problem. I'm so relieved...
