Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
Please check your website’s root folder for any sitemap files as Rank Math’s sitemap is generated virtually. You can get in touch with your web host for assistance.
If there isn’t any sitemap file, please follow these steps for initial troubleshooting:
1. Ensure you’re using the latest version of your plugins/theme including the Rank Math plugin.
2. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

3. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server:

I hope that helps.
Thank you.
