One of your dependencies could, in turn, have a dependency on that third party project. Run "go mod graph" to see what imports what and you should be able to track it down.
As for the replace directive, I've always viewed it as a temporary quick fix. In your own code, you can simply replace the module import with a search and replace, but the harder part is in third party dependencies where you don't own the code. You might want to contact those projects and file Issues or send PR's due to their depending on a dead library.
