Resolution Note:
Once you delete an asset inside Unity, Unity stops tracking that asset and will not promise to keep any references or settings for that asset. If an asset is later added with the same name, it should be considered a coincidence that any references remains from a previously deleted asset.
Our suggested approach is that you replace an image file, rather than deleting and adding it again, to make sure all settings and references are kept intact inside Unity.
