[Python] Django template loader looking at an old installed_apps list from settings.py [closed]

I have Django 5.2 installed. I had an app named 'home' in my installed_apps list in settings.py. I renamed the app to 'core' and did a full refactor. Now, Django is loading the views from the 'core' app, but for some reason, the template loader is still looking in 'home/templates/home/homepage.html'. It is somehow still using the installed_apps list from the previous settings.py. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

I have the following extra installed apps (on top of Django default) list:

INSTALLED_APPS += [
'core',
'django_extensions',
'django_cleanup',
'rest_framework',
]


I cleaned the .pyc files and retested them before posting the query.

Edit: Resolved
apps.py of the "core" app had the previous name of "home". Django used the name from apps.py for Template Loader.
