CNAME Record not Propagating + Phantom A Record

Having an issue with CNAME not propagating. My host is pointing me to the Registrar and Cloudflare, the Registrar is pointing me to Cloudflare. If I dont enter an A Record and look on DNS checker there is some rogue A record pointing to a digitalocean server... digitalocean is nowhere in my stack... any ideas what is going on?

Go here https://mxtoolbox.com/DnsLookup.aspx, enter your domain and return with which servers are there

DNS tools just show me the problem (the CNAME record is not propagating, and an A Record that is not in my Cloudflare DNS Management) .. I am trying to establish why ?

That's either proxy, or it's a CNAME on your apex/root which is automatically flattened, or you are Pro plan or higher and flattening all CNAMEs. What's your domain name, and a screenshot of the record in Cloudflare?
