Asp.net Core bin vs bin/debug

Hi - hopefully easy question but i have a legacy project im taking over. If i set output folder to bin, i can debug no worries. if i use bin/debug and bin/release, then bin/ stays empty (obv the bin/debug still gets created) but when i debug, i get dll cant be found. I thought ive always kept bin clean and use bin/debug before but now im not sure
