I read that this is due to some kind of caching but could not fix it. Can someone please explain the reason for this and how can I fix it ?

Hello Everyone!
Initially I had cloned the git repo using https along with all other docker setup. The project was working but git pull isn't working. Now I cloned it using SSH but now the project isn't working. It is showing a message everywhere that pyenv version 3.9.1 isn't installed. I tried to install it using the steps given on this link
https://gist.github.com/luzfcb/1a7f64adf5d12c2d357d0b4319fe9dcd
but the pyenv version isn't updating. My pc is showing the verion of pyenv as 1.2.23.
Can anyone tell me what should I do now?
Thanks.
