I have initially set as default account directory as /home2 in cpanel config.
Afterwards I needed to change this back to /home, but although the cpanel config shows as default homedir account creation as /home, new accounts are still created in /home2.
I have checked the /etc/wwwacct.conf, but there is nothing wrong there.
If I change to /home5 or any other directory, then it works (accounts are created in the specified directory) but if I want to have them in /home, they all are created in /home2.

Please advice.

Go on, have a guess
Do you have home in Home Directory Prefix? If so, then that will be why. According to the setting you'll want to set it to blank to disable that.
