You may have changed the url, but did you change the ID of the page in all the pages where that page is linked?

In other words, this page is linked to by other pages. That means it lives in the contents field of those pages. If you change the url of the page, that doesn't change the id being listed in those parent pages.

I might recommend downloading your entire catalog and doing a search in excel for that old ID.

I don't believe you guys have the catalog manager correct? Because you're legacy? We probably built a way for you to download your entire catalog. I can't remember.
