Unable to delete email forwarders

I followed a suggestion and created three forwarders for address 'admin', each forwarding to a different address. The forwarding itself works correctly, but when I try to delete any of these forwarders through cPanel, cPanel tells me the forwarder was successfully deleted but it remains on the list. This persists through logouts and logins.

I have shell access to my account, but was unable to locate the appropriate configuration data even with 'find ~ -exec grep -nH admin@mydomain.org {} \;'. Older cPanel documentation says that forwarders are stored in etc/valiases, but I have no such file. Can anybody tell me how to forcefully remove these forwarders?

Unfortunately I don't know what version of cPanel I'm using, but it should be very recent.

 

I stumbled upon a different interface to delete forwarders. I had been trying to do it through the Email Accounts panel, which did not work, but I then tried through the Forwarders panel, which did work.

 

I do not have root access. I was looking through the etc directory in my home, but I now realize that the comments like yours really do refer to /etc and not just the user's local etc.
