i have a valid \_redirect file and it was working. But i have changed something and after deploying the changes will not work. But everything like before changing. I can delete the redirect file completely and the rules are still working. What I am doing wrong. It seems like the redirects will not be updated no matter deleting or changing rules.

Something I have not understand?

Hey Rupert,

I’ve got a [handy redirects guide](https://answers.netlify.com/t/support-guide-making-redirects-work-for-you-troubleshooting-and-debugging/13433) for you here. It’ll talk you through what to check for to see if rules are present and a few of the more typical pitfalls. Please, give this a read and let me know if anything helps! Otherwise, we can take a look together.
