Usermod: No changes

Recently I tried to change user directory, I logged using root account on tty6. After using

usermod -d /home/exampledir USER

After that it returned

usermod:no change

also when i logged in using lightdm and i had desktop window manager (dwm)
but I can't login and I returned back to lightdm
It keeps happening to fix this I have to run

usermod -d /home/previousdir

Please help I want to change user dir desperatly
