When you try to add new domain in cpanel and getting this error The domain “example.com” already exists in the userdata. the domain didn’t exist on the server, yet there were mistaken entries in the following files:
/etc/userdomains [EXISTS]
/etc/localdomains [EXISTS]
/var/cpanel/moddirdomains [EXISTS]We don’t recommend users modify these files. I’ve removed the entries. You should be able to create the domain now.
Alternative Method To Fix.

grep -R domain.tld /var/cpanel/user*
