In trying to add an alias for an add-on domain (something that doesn't appear to be possible as standard with cPanel) I've ended up with a spurious "domain" which probably just needs deleting, based on what I've read in the cPanel documentation.
I have a setup of a primary domain and an add-on domain. I've abandoned an attempt to create an alias for the add-on domain, but in the process of trying to set this up with support I've ended up with a third "domain" listed under the "Domains" section of cPanel. The "domain" is in fact a sub-domain of the form addon.primary.com. This has the same Document root as the add-on domain (which has an associated sub-domain of addon1.primary.com), so I'm nervous about deleting it. The problem I'm getting is that visitors to the website are now (not previously an issue) getting certificate errors owing to the add-on domain being somehow associated with the spurious domain, which has a separate Let's Encrypt certificate from the add-on domain and it's associated sub-domain.
Am I right in thinking that deleting the spurious sub-domain via the Domain list won't affect the directory and file space of the add-on domain? Alternatively, if I change the name of the root directory of the spurious sub-domain, I assume this will still leave the original add-on domain directory and file space intact?
