[FIXED] How to remove Nginx server blocks in effect

Issue

I had a Nginx in a container (on a Ubuntu host) and several server blocks defined. I was tweaking them and wanted to remove them all. But stopping the container and removing the container did not help. The rules I was testing with are still in effect.

Are Nginx configurations being applied to the host as well? How can I remove all the configurations and start from scratch?

Note: I had the conf.d folder mapped to a volume on the host. the configuration file is still available in it.

Solution

As Ivan Shatsky pointed out in the comments, it must have been the browser cache. However, I got rid of the persistent conf file in the volume as well and the nginx effects were gone.
