Javascript Redirect still active

I have been recently working on a website for myself, http://retrixsolutions.pw/, and I have a process before which loaded my website and redirected it to another page:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.location = "homepage.html";
</script>


Using this script, it automatically redirected my websites' index.html to homepage.html

I then looked into another website design and decided I liked that one better. I removed the files on my CentOS webserver and then uploaded the new ones. These files do not require me to redirect.

If you go to http://retrixsolutions.pw/ it works, but if you go to http://retrixsolutions.pw/index.html, it redirects to another page even though the script to redirect is completely removed.

I have restarted my webserver, shut it down and then re-uploaded the files but still the index.html file relocates to homepage.html.

Thanks for your help.

Adding on to what JBDouble05 said, another easy way to clear your cache is to hold Shift while clicking the refresh button.

Shift

What you'd need to do is make sure your browser is not caching the files. Caching is essentially the browser saving time and effort, and it saves a local copy of the file to its storage, which means that if you boot up that page, it will load the saved file, even if the file online changes. To clear cache, you can refresh the page, hard refresh and clear cache, or use an incognito or private browser (such as Epic)
