Getting a 404 with htaccess

I am hoping somebody can help me with this.

I have a htaccess file in my public html folder for my website with the following:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.+)\.html$ /$1 [L,R=301]

So when I visit my site to newsletter.html it redirects to domain.co.uk/newsletter instead of domain.co.uk/newsletter.html which is what I want.. but i also get a 404 saying the page cant be displayed. The webpage in question is named newletter.html in my file manager.

Does anyone know why it cant be displayed?

To hide .html extension use this code in root .htaccess:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+(.+?)\.html[\s?] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=302,L,NE]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.html -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /$1.html [L]
