Users Controller does not exist

I'm building a CMS in Laravel 5.8 with an in-built Authentication system. My app was working fine but suddenly it starts giving me an error as ReflectionException : Class App\Http\Controllers\Users does not exist on command php artisan route:list -v. However, if i define a new resource route, then that new route page works fine. It means, route file is getting saved but gives error while listing the routes.

I have not created any file named as Users but my user controller file name is UserController

Below is the structure of my application:

cms -> project folder
  app
    Http
      Controllers
        Auth
          RegisterController.php
          LoginController.php and other Auth files
        backend
          UserController.php and my other controller files

Below is my route file

Auth::routes();

Route::group(['as'=>'cms.'  ,'prefix'=>'cms'],function(){
    Route::get('/', 'backend\Dashboard@index')->name('dashboard');
    Route::resource('/user-management', 'backend\UserController');
});

Below is my UserController file residing in backend folder

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\backend;
use App\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;
use Auth;
use App\Models\backend\Admin;
use App\Models\backend\Menu;
use App\Models\backend\Submenu;
use Config;
use illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth:admin');
    }

        }       
    }
}

I have tried the below commands and they all run successfully but none resolved the error

php artisan clear-compiled
composer dump-autoload 
php artisan optimize 
php artisan route:cache

Don't know from where this Users controller class in being referenced.

Can anyone help me in this regard as I'm badly stuck in my development.

Much Regards,

Javed

can you provide the actual error message? sounds like you are referencing a class named Users in your Controller – lagbox
Probably a typo, according to your question the error says App\Http\Controllers\Users does not exist Users or User? You have UserController, not UsersController – sta
Please can you add all off the code for your UserController. – Rwd
@Rwd I hv edited my question & added the complete source code of my UserController. – Javed
Hey @ClémentBaconnier i think i found the culprit. In api.php file there is this line Route::middleware('auth:api')->get('/user', 'Users@AuthRouteAPI'); Should i change it to Route::middleware('auth:api')->get('/user', 'backend\Users@AuthRouteAPI'); or gives a complete path like this Route::middleware('auth:api')->get('/user', 'App\Http\Controllers\backend\Users@AuthRouteAPI'); – Javed

@ClémentBaconnier the error is resolved now. I made the changes in api.php to Route::middleware('auth:api')->get('/user', 'backend\Users@AuthRouteAPI'); and now all my routes are listed. Thanks u soooo much for ur advice.
