By default your router will be in the 'App/Http/Controllers' namespace. (I cant see that you have kept that namespace as you have cut off the image, but I am assuming... I know... I shouldnt assume)

So by changing 

protected $namespace = 'App\Http\Controllers';

to be 

protected $namespace = ''

Laravel is trying to match 'App\Http\Controllers\HomeController' with 'HomeController' and not finding it.

You should change the protected $namespace back to what it was and it should start to work.

Is there a reason why you have moved the controller into the root of your application? Whilst Laravel makes it pretty easy to move things around, keeping all your controllers together should make for a much easier to understand application.

The route itself controls the URL rather than the location of the controller file within app/.

Hope fully this was helpful?
