Problem with html files in subdirectories and ControllerAdvice

I changed HTML files location and moved them to subdirectories in resource/templates. The problem is after changing location, my @ControllerAdvice class and @ExceptionHandler stopped working with Thymeleaf (previously after catching exception, it was showing my custom message on thymeleaf view).

My subdirectiories in resource

enter image description here

Does anyone know what could be the cause of this? I have spent hours trying, but nothing seems to solve my problem. I added this in application properties, as after creating subdirectories, i got stuck in infinite loop and my view were not loading

spring.thymeleaf.prefix=classpath:/templates/
spring.thymeleaf.suffix=.html

Update the View Names in Exception Handling: If your @ExceptionHandler is pointing to a view name like "errorPage", but the template is now in a subdirectory (e.g., resource/templates/error/errorPage.html), you need to update the view name in your exception handler to match the new path:

@ExceptionHandler(Exception.class)
public String handleSomeException() {
    return "error/errorPage";  // updated path
}
