Be sure to execute Clear["Global`*"] on all the sub-kernels.
For example:
In[1]:= ParallelEvaluate[x=2];
In[2]:= Clear["Global`*"];
In[3]:= ParallelEvaluate[x]
Out[3]= {2, 2}
This shows that calling Clear["Global`"] does not affect the
value of x in the sub-kernels. Try this:
In[4]:= ParallelEvaluate[Clear["Global`*"]];
In[5]:= ParallelEvaluate[x]
Out[5]= {x, x}
