Saved game won't load new graphic mods

[Ilya]

So, I've installed a compilation of graphic mods that I found on the forum somewhere, which included custom EVE and textures files. I played with it a bit and didn't like it, so I deleted everything and put back my old folders. Despite this, my career save still uses the old configs that I've deleted. My sandbox save loads everything fine. So I tried deleting all mods, then loading my save to reset everything back to stock graphics. It worked, so I saved the game, closed it, put back all the mods. After all of this, it's still using the EVE configs and the textures that I'm trying to get rid of. Is there anything I can try, or is my save broken forever?
