Issue with accessing robots.txt and sitemap.xml files on static website

I am experiencing difficulties accessing the robots.txt and sitemap.xml files on my static website. When I build the website locally, both files are generated, and I can access them without issues using http-server. However, when I deploy the site on Netlify, I receive a 404 Not Found error for both files. I have checked that no conflicting redirects are causing this problem. Why is this happening?

Hi, your files should be located at the root level of your site, not in any sub-folder. This means the files should be at /robots.txt and /sitemap.xml on your site.

If you have these files in the correct location and are still facing issues, it could be due to incorrect redirect rules. Is there a redirect rule in your _redirects file or netlify.toml file?
