Visual Studio 2019 failed to update wwwroot folder content in Azure web app

I have an Angular and C#/Dotnet Core 5.0 api application. The C# code and Angular are in different folders. I compiled angular code with ng build --prod. Then I copied *.js files from angular dist to wwwroot folder in C# project, e.g. myapi/wwwroot. After publishing from Visual Studio 2019 to Azure web app, the content of D:\home\site\wwwroot\wwwroot does not get updated. In the obj\Release\net5.0\PubTmp\Out\ I saw a wwwroot folder, but the content is old. The new files from myapi/wwwroot folder is not copied over. Any suggestions are really appreciated.

I had the same/similar issue which was resolved by deleting the folders

projectroot/bin
projectroot/obj

please also set the file properties in solution explorer to "copy if newer" as shown in the image below

Please verify your cproj file and check if they're being excluded. You can add this to your csproj file to have the content of wwwroot copied over:

<ItemGroup>
  <None Include="wwwroot\**">
    <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
   </None>
</ItemGroup>
