ScoreCounter does not exist in current context

hello, i'm doing all like in videos and all went perfect until this part... have no typos, all is exactly like in video...

i tried deleting the ScoreCounter.cs and creating a new one but that didnt help. The new one is named ScoreCounterr.cs because after deleting the old one, i can't add one named just like the old one because it tells me there is already one named ScoreCounter.cs but when try adding it says that it don't exist...

FlyPickup.cs:

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;

public class FlyPickup : MonoBehaviour {

[SerializeField]
private GameObject pickupPrefab;

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    // if the collider "other" is tagged with "Player"...
    if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
    {
        // add the pick up particles.
        Instantiate(pickupPrefab, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);

        // ... decrement the total nr of flies.
        FlySpawner.totalFlies--;

        // ... update the score.
        ScoreCounterr.score++;   <---- here is where it don't want to accept the ScoreCounterr.  code CS0103

        Destroy(gameObject);
    }
}

}

ScoreCounterr.cs

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; using UnityEngin.UI;

public class ScoreCounterr : MonoBehaviour {

public static int score;
private Text scoreCounterText;

// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
    score = 0;
    scoreCounterText = GetComponent<scoreCounterText>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    scoreCounterText.text = score + " Flies";
}

}
