You need to do three things to remove the icon from the build:

• remove <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico"> from index.html
• remove "favicon.ico" from apps[0].assets in angular-cli.json
• delete src/favicon.ico

This way you eliminate all traces of the default favicon. If you still see it in your browser, it is likely being cached somewhere and should go away in time.

thanks @filipesilva its working but after

1) Restart the app , If still not change
2) Restart the system (I dont know it is better way or not but it works for me)
3) Clear browsing data and cache.

If still not working then follow this i am sure it works.

To refresh your site's favicon you can force browsers to download a new version using the link tag and a query string on your filename. This is especially helpful in production environments to make sure your users get the update.

You just need change the file's name favicon.ico and update the index file with the new name!

e.g:
Rename the file favicon.ico to my-favicon.ico

in the file index.html:

It's work!
