String Contain issue

So im trying to get a word in a string using Contain but its not getting the word, I havent found a workaround it or im just completely doing it wrong.

if (OtherUser != null)
            {
                string bio = OtherUser.Bio.Replace("\n","").Replace(" ","").Trim();
                if (bio.Contains("OwlHouse#disc"))
                {
                    await RespondAsync($"{Context.User.Mention} You have been verified.",ephemeral: true);
                }
                else
                {
                    await RespondAsync($"{Context.User.Mention} You do not have the code in your Bio. \n`[ BIO ]` \n{bio}", ephemeral: true);
                }
            }

if (OtherUser != null)
            {
                string bio = OtherUser.Bio.Replace("\n","").Replace(" ","").Trim();
                if (bio.Contains("OwlHouse#disc"))
                {
                    await RespondAsync($"{Context.User.Mention} You have been verified.",ephemeral: true);
                }
                else
                {
                    await RespondAsync($"{Context.User.Mention} You do not have the code in your Bio. \n`[ BIO ]` \n{bio}", ephemeral: true);
                }
            }

I may be wrong but it looks like there’s a space before and after the “#”

this is a perfect example to use the debugger place a breakpoint at string bio and see what the actual string is then just use a text editor to search for your desired word because this:

string bio = OtherUser.Bio.Replace("\n","").Replace(" ","").Trim();

string bio = OtherUser.Bio.Replace("\n","").Replace(" ","").Trim();

can produce anything how can we know it will have your desired word in it also, contains will not fail so the problem is in your string output 100%
