We will verify that the file exists in the specified location. If we can't access the file, we'll give you information about the error we encountered. More information about HTML file verification errors.

Once this problem is resolved, try to verify your site again. Removing the file from your server can cause your site to become unverified, and you will need to go through the verification process again.
