It depends. I had a similar frustrating experience on my own system (Tomcat on Debian) getting a war deployed in the root context.
Depending on the system's configuration, there's the ROOT.xml descriptor, a ROOT.war somewhere, possibly an override for the ROOT.xml in a /etc/tomcat directory. Anywhere you look, be sure you distinguish between actual files and links. I assume you are trying to use the root context - sometimes the easiest answer is to replace the stock ROOT.war with your own application.
