Eureka! I found them.
@tom_l , sorry for ignoring part of your instructions. Yes you are right, these entries were in the /config/.storage/core.entity_registry & /config/.storage/core.restore_state files. I deleted them from both places and now I have the right entity show up. I wasn’t aware that discovered items are stored in the .storage directory.
Thank you so much for your help!! Appreciate your patience!!
For others who would face this, i deleted the following entries from these files:
