Hello everyone,  
I am pretty new to Django, so I’ve been having a problem recently. Today early in the morning, I created a new django project. However, ever since I haven’t been able to run even a blank project without getting the following error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘steps\_project’.

Steps\_project was a project I was working on before, therefore I tried deleting it. I also tried invalidating caches in pycharm. I tried to create a new completely blank project a couple of times and it doesn’t work (when I say blank, I mean creating an application and only including it in the INSTALLED\_APPS in the settings.py file). I searched (just in case) the whole project for any word ‘steps\_project’ and couldn’t find any.

Any idea would be very welcome
