What are the permissions and ownership on that file? Does that user exist in /etc/passwd, /etc/group and /etc/shadow locations?

ls -lah /var/cpanel/users/username
grep username /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow

Please replace username with the cPanel username.

"Unable to fetch the cPanel user file for traficho" . The problem is that the username for this account is different and i can't find "traficho" username anywhere.I deleted some time ago.What should i do?

Hello,

So this user is showing up as existing when the user doesn't exist and you are wanting this user wiped from the system? Have you checked these locations for the user?

grep traficho /etc/*
grep traficho /var/cpanel/users/*
grep -R traficho /var/cpanel/userdata/*
grep traficho /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

Thanks!
