Cannot Find Symbol error - Java - Encapsulation

I have this folder structure

Day12
| Account.java
| AccountMain.java

Account.java Contains

package Day12;

public class Account {
    int id;
    String name;
    double balance;


    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public double getBalance() {
        return balance;
    }
    
    public void setId(int id){
        this.id = id;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    public void setBalance(double balance) {
        this.balance = balance;
    }

    
    
}

And my AccountMain.java

package Day12;

public class AccountMain {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Account acc1 = new Account();

        acc1.setId(1);
        acc1.setName("John");
        acc1.setBalance(1000.0);

        System.out.println("Account ID: " + acc1.getId());
        System.out.println("Account Name: " + acc1.getName());
        System.out.println("Account Balance: " + acc1.getBalance());
    }
}

Everytime I run the javac AccountMain.java I get this error.

AccountMain.java:5: error: cannot find symbol
Account acc1 = new Account();

^ symbol: class Account location: class AccountMain AccountMain.java:5: error: cannot find symbol
Account acc1 = new Account();

^ symbol: class Account location: class AccountMain
2 errors

I get confused to as I dont know ehy it says It cannot Find symbol even tho I have them in the same Package and my aitocomplete was able to detect the Account Class.
