You need to setq the package-user-dir *before* calling (require 'package).
Otherwise emacs will first create the elpa/ dir at the default location at
the time of requiring.

In addition, simply delete the archives/ dir inside package-user-dir; emacs
will just rebuild that from scratch without complaining.

Then finally restart emacs and then see if the issue gets resolved.
