Issues with renaming Excel file - Power Query

I am having issues in Power Query with changing the source to match that of our data source. 

As shown attached, I have renamed the excel spreadsheet and therefore have gone into Power Query editor> Queries> Source> deselected all and then searched for the file name. However, upon searching for the recently renamed file it isn't being displayed and only the old name version is appearing.

As shown attached below, the renamed file isn't being displayed in the source in Power Query editor and only the old name of the file is shown.

All sorted now thank you @Vijay_A_Verma Ran into another issue upon refreshing and changing the source but realised I then had to update the samples with the correct file name as well.
