Cron job running at 12.00 AM despite deleting it / changing its time?

I have only one cron configured in cPanel for WHMCS to run once per day at 12.00 AM. The cron sends daily activity logs to my email. A problem came up recently in which the cron job activity logs sent to me are coming from that email noreply@yourdomain.com which does not exist. Emails are coming from that address without replacing my actual domain name. So I deleted the cron job, I created a new one with different timing 8.00 AM. The cron runs correctly at that time and I'm receiving logs from my valid email. However, I still get emails at 12.00 AM too, as If there is another cron job stuck at that time and the logs are coming from that invalid email address noreply@yourdomain.com. I looked into the cron configuration file and there were no duplicate entries for crons. I checked with WHMCS support and the software configuration is correct. I'm wondering why cron emails come from noreply@yourdomain.com in the first place and why the cron still runs at 12.00 AM? Have anyone had a problem like this before? Any suggestions please? Thank you.

  Hello :) Try searching for the cron job in one of the following directories if you can't find it in /var/spool/cron/:
  /etc/cron.d /etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.hourly /etc/cron.monthly /etc/cron.weekly
  Thank you.
