Why contract deployment shows contractName <UnRecognized Contract> in local network

[sachin-kiwi]

While Deploying contract in hardhat localhost, why i am getting Contract Name :
Here is my hardhat config (code) and hardhat node result (pic)

const { getAllContractNames } = require("./utils");

require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox");
require("@nomicfoundation/hardhat-chai-matchers");
require("hardhat-abi-exporter");
require("hardhat-gas-reporter");
require("dotenv").config();

const contractFolder = process.env.CONTRACT_FOLDER_PATH || "contracts";
const contractFiles = getAllContractNames(contractFolder);
const {
  INFURA_KEY,
  ETHERSCAN_API_KEY,
  COINMARKETCAP_API_KEY,
  ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY,
  BASE_CURRENCY = "USD",
} = process.env;

module.exports = {
  solidity: {

};

@sachin-kiwi
-> Delete the artifacts folder located in the /src/artifacts directory.
-> Recompile the contract by running the command npx hardhat compile and then
-> Deploy the compiled contract by executing npx hardhat run scripts/deploymentScript.js

hope it will fix that .
If the problem still persists, ensure that you have double-checked the contract name.

Thanks, @Haripandey21 for the inputs
When trying your inputs for solution, I found that I facing this issue since the directory from where I run npx hardhat node is different from the contract repo terminal and thus it was unable to trace the contract name.

I tried running npx hardhat node and npx hardhat run scripts/deploymentScript.js from same contract repo directory where artifacts exist and it is reflecting contract Name now
