It’s not showing the preview, even though it had been working normally. I already spent 5 dollars, and the AI tells me it already deleted the `package.json`, but it still doesn’t show anything

The package.json is very important and contains the info for how to start the app as well as what dependencies it has

You'll need to revert back to before you deleted it and solve the specific error that was happening

It already lets me preview the project, but now it won’t allow me to deploy it
