I've read the SO posts regarding this and can not find a solution.

I've tried changing the link in the HTML to another location. I've tried clearing all the browser data. But, it still pulls a previous favicon.ico.

Does anyone know where it is getting this old favicon.ico? I should be able to delete it manually at a minimum.

This site process does not work.

Actually answer might be here: How to clear IE's favicon cache?

This is wrong too...clearing the browsing history and cache..does nothing to the favicon.ico file

O.K...there was a check box you have to de-select to keep it from saving favorites...this was not intuitive b.c. you have to select all the rest.

From there I changed the file name and link to in the HTML.

Then I waited about a day

Then it changed....I.E has some sort of timer..can anyone quantify this delay for it to pick up changes?

I've recently noticed that Windows 7 does not update images, that is if I save and image over and exiting image...windows will still display the old image until I click on it. Probably related in some way to Microsoft's philosophy on updating images

  • yes...is this relevant...I actually went in to the folder hierachy...and deleted it already..but I did not find this relevant –  Nov 13 '11 at 18:14
  • Try putting the url of the favicon (e.g. example.com/favicon.ico) into the address bar, and refresh the page F5 and ctrl+F5. If all else fails you could just rename it to something like favicon2.ico and include that in in your html using the link element. – Gerben Nov 13 '11 at 19:30
