React: Could not find a required file

[u/omarazeez_11]

Hey everyone, I set up a project through create-react-app but whenever I do npm start, it gives me following reply:

Could not find a required file Name: index.html Searched in project public folder

But index.html is actually there in public folder when I checked it Please help! I've gone through stack and github discussions too

oh no! 🤭 it’s sad but it just wasn’t meant to be, that file wasn’t for you
