There are different methods to eliminate the default favicon from WordPress, the most common being:

1. Upload a new favicon: Go to Appearance > Customize > Site Identity and upload a new favicon. This will replace the default WordPress favicon.

2. Remove the default favicon using a plugin: Install and activate a plugin like All-in-One Favicon, which allows you to upload a new favicon and remove the default WordPress favicon.

3. Remove the default favicon using code: Add the following code to your theme's functions.php file:

function remove_default_favicon() {
  remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_site_icon', 99);
}
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'remove_default_favicon');

This code will remove the default WordPress favicon from the site's header.
