## Why This Error Occurred

In your `./public` folder you added a `_next` folder which conflicts with the internal usage of `_next`. Due to this conflicting this folder name is not allowed inside of your `public` folder.

## Possible Ways to Fix It

Rename the `_next` folder in your `public` folder to something else or remove it.
