Step 2
I deleted the tag mentioned above, but it didn’t changed. I also deleted the file from the directory, again no change. I even cleared the cache and data from the consule and setting, but agian no change!
even in incognito mode still there’s that fav icon on page, though there’s no code or file to read from.

I found a workaround for this problem. In advance, I gotta say that on Firefox everything is fine, once I comment the fav-icon code line it disappears. but on Chrome, it's still there. I found another way to solve this problem on Chrome, which also helped me more than that. The extension "live server" helped me to synchronize the saved code and the website running on the browser. this also fixed the fav-icon problem with Chrome. But still, without it, chrome never changes the fav-icon.
This issue may be caused by browser cache, and sometimes it even occurs in incognito mode. If you open the ‘training.html’ file in a different browser than the one you have previously used, you will notice that there is no favicon anymore
