Remove /home from the sitemap.xml

[wd7080]

Preconditions

Magento ver. 2.2.1

Steps to reproduce

1. Visit your site sitemap at https://domain.com/sitemap.xml

Expected result

1. You will see your sitemap.
2. You will see your homepage listed as https://domain.com/home

Actual result

1. I want to remove /home from the sitemap.xml (I want the URL in the sitemap to be "https://domain.com" instead of "https://domain.com/home").

I tried: https://github.com/VincentMarmiesse/magento2-remove-home-from-sitemap but it does not work on this version. I don't want to achieve this via the .htaccess. I want that to be adjusted in the XML.

@magento-engcom-team To reproduce this you need to fill the default CMS home page title as "Home Page". In the URL Key under Search Engine Optimization type "home". (this is the mistake because by doing this, we created a URL rewrite rule. I don't remember if it was already there). This adds /home to the URL and makes the URL for the homepage looks like https://domain.com/home. This URL does not redirect back to the homepage. Alternatively, the homepage will appear on two links as follows:
https://domain.com/home AND https://domain.com

Go to Content -> Pages and you will see URL key for the home page set as "Home". See the image below:

I checked the rewrite rules under Marketing ->URL Rewrites and I found this rule there (also, refer to the image below:
Request path: home
Target path: cms/page/view/page_id/2

How can we correct this on the sitemap.xml and make the home page appears as the domain name only without /home? Shall I delete this rewrite rule? Again, I don't want to achieve this via the .htaccess.
