React old Favicon showing in new project

so I had an old project created using react, where I used a custom favicon. Now the issue is, I'm working on a new project, but it's still using that old favicon. Funny enough, I don't even have a favicon anywhere, no code in the HTML header either. I'm getting this error in the console though.

Proxy error: Could not proxy request /favicon.ico from localhost:3000 to http://localhost:8080/. See https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errors_common_system_errors for more information (ECONNREFUSED).

Any suggestions on what might be wrong ??

It is probably caching. You can force a clear cache, but I would recommend just adding a new one. A great favicon generator I found is https://realfavicongenerator.net/, once you add your image they give you a list of options and at the bottom you will find a tab to handle the version/refresh.

Maybe its loading from cache because they are running on the same port. Can you try hard reloading the page
