Your favicon is in project_root > public > favicon.ico.

`--- public
     |
     `--- favicon.ico

Removing it is hard as browser generally uses a cached favicon if it doesn't find anything.

I'd urge you to change it. Just replace the favicon.ico file with an image of your choice. You can even rename a png to favicon.ico and use it. Make sure you do a hard refresh. You have to burst cache to see that change.

If you want to go all in on this, generate a favicon using https://www.favicon-generator.org/
