I tried to change the contents of the robots.txt file via FTP, but it didn’t work when it opened at [site.com/robot.txt](http://site.com/robot.txt). I have deleted the cache many times until the cookie. I also restarted my computer. I think this is possible only on my computer’s IP. I tried to open it through my cellphone, but what I saw was the same. I’m confused until I try to delete the robots.txt file, but even though it has been deleted it can still be seen, shouldn’t it be 404 ?. Please help me: '(

My site is at [here](https://sdev.web.id)
