Good evening.

@znkbnk The relevant pieces are: ```plaintext 8:56:22 PM: Error message 8:56:22 PM: Error: The directory “/opt/build/repo/build” does not contain a Next.js production build. Perhaps the build command was not run, or you specified the wrong publish directory. 8:56:22 PM: In most cases it should be set to “.next”, unless you have chosen a custom “distDir” in your Next config. ``` and: ```plaintext 8:56:22 PM: publish: /opt/build/repo/build ``` which comes from: ```plaintext [build] command = "npm run build" publish = "build" <----- This ``` You have your `publish` directory set to `build`. The error provides some help for fixing it with: _In most cases it should be set to **“.next”** , unless you have chosen a **custom “distDir” in your Next config.** _ To fix you would change your `publish` directory from `build` to _your actual publish directory_ (probably `.next`) ---

@znkbnk Sorry I missed that from your thread title. That’s pretty funny, but it doesn’t change the ultimate error, of the publish directory not being found, but it does reveal that more than one thing is wrong. Do you have anything Next related in your `package.json`? I can see the build references `@netlify/plugin-nextjs` ---

Yes I did. package-lock.json has nothing related and no references. Cant post it here as it too long. ---

If you believe something is “stuck” on Netlify’s side, you could recreate it as a new project in your account. If everything that identifies it as a Next project has been removed you’d expect those build log notes to go away. If they still appear you could investigate further as to why. ---

I was thinking about that, but I left as a last solution, thats why first i created this post. Thank You for Your time! ---

@znkbnk It’s easy to do, and doesn’t require deleting the original project or waiting for assistance from anyone else, so I’d just give it a try and see what you discover. ---

Indeed it was easy, I just reacreated the project, deleted the lst one and it works! Thanks for idea!
