Hi

I deleted a domain from cpanel months ago, but the domain is still turned to  /cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi

domain.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi

  Hey there!  This just means the domain has a DNS entry somewhere on the internet that points to your system.  There really isn't a way to prevent this - for example, I could create a domain right now with a CNAME to google.com and no one is going to stop me.

  If you control the DNS or nameservers for the domain you can edit those to delete it from the internet.  If you don't control the DNS, you could create an account on your server and then redirect it to a page of your choosing.  You could also set default vhosts for your machine for any unrouted domain:
