How can I delete Google Chrome Favicon Cache on Ubuntu?

Question

There are several articles that outlined how to delete the Favicon cache on Mac OS X and Windows but not Linux.

Does anyone know where the directory lies on Ubuntu Linux that contains the favicon cache?

Answer 1

You can use locate command to find it:

locate -i chrom | grep -i fav

I'm using chromium and the output is:

/home/ravexina/.config/chromium/Default/Favicons
/home/ravexina/.config/chromium/Default/Favicons-journal

Remove the first one and you're done:

rm  /home/ravexina/.config/chromium/Default/Favicons

For "Google Chrome" the path should be the same, however if this file does not exist in your system, use locate command to find it.
