Domain redirect issue

I pointed my custom domain (purchased through namecheap) to a front end project I have here at vercel. I'm pretty sure when I went through the options to set it up here on vercel, I chose www.example.com should redirect to example.com and that example.com should be preferred and what shows up in the address bar.

I added the A record and a CNAME record with 'www' on namecheap DNS. Now on vercel - it's basically working, but it says www.example.com is set as main and example.com redirects to www.example.com.

I want to change this. Is that something I can change in settings here at vercel or should I delete the CNAME record at namecheap?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hey

Here is the basic setup I follow, let me know if what you described is similar:

A record for the root domain (example.com)
CNAME record for the www subdomain
Vercel project should have BOTH domains attached ([your project] -> Settings -> Domains)
www should be redirecting (in vercel) to root domain (example.com)

Example shot of what Vercel settings for the project's domain setup would look like

thank you !

ah, I see. I didn't realize I could just delete the redirect to "set it" as main. I was think there was a button somewhere that might say explicitly that. I was able to make those changes here in vercel. Looks like that worked. Thank you again!
