When trying to fill air blocks generated in the world in order to generate caves, ravines, lakes, etc. are not counted when using /fill <x> <y> <z> <x> <y> <z> <block> replace minecraft:air. Once a block has been placed in that position and then broken, it will be properly filled. Otherwise, the command will return the error message "No blocks were filled."

yeah underground structures are actually filled with cave_air
you need to use both /fill <x> <y> <z> <x> <y> <z> <block> replace minecraft:air, /fill <x> <y> <z> <x> <y> <z> <block> replace minecraft:cave_air at a time or use /fill <x> <y> <z> <x> <y> <z> <block> keep
