We changed a blogpost URL a few weeks ago. Since then is the new URL and the old URL visible in the sitemap. We have already tried all solutions of the forum such as;
1. Head over to WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks
Hit the save button once.
2. Go to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Sitemap Settings
Hit the save button once or delete cache etc.
But both URL’s are still in the sitemap. Although the date of the old url is no longer updated in the sitemap, it remains in the sitemap. What is the solution?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
I think we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/
You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/
We really look forward to helping you.
In the sitemap /page-sitemap.xml also includes the following link which does not exist. This must also be removed from the sitemap.
Hello,
It is not just Rank Math but your feed URL is showing the
/en/home/part in the source code too.
Please try to contact WPML and once the URL is internally fixed, it will be automatically reflected in the Sitemap since the sitemaps are automatically generated from the URLs saved in the WordPress and it seems to be incorrect as you can see in the above screenshot.
