Jiwon ChoiandGitHub b9620e6b1f docs: improve file tree (#77889)
The file tree can be improved and share the same convention:

- Use the `txt` file extension.
- One tab indented.
- Use file tree with root `.` and trailing slash for folders.

title: Static directory is deprecated
---
## Why This Error Occurred
In versions prior to 9.0.6 the `static` directory was used to serve static assets in a Next.js application. This has been deprecated in favor of a `public` directory.
The reason we want to support a `public` directory instead is to not require the `/static` prefix for assets anymore and there is no reason to maintain both paths.
## Possible Ways to Fix It
You can move your `static` directory inside of the `public` directory and all URLs will stay the same as they were before.
**Before**
```txt
.
├── pages/
│ └── index.js
└── static/
└── my-image.jpg
```
**After**
```txt
.
├── pages/
│ └── index.js
└── public/
└── static/
└── my-image.jpg
```
