Refresh Favicons

A few weeks ago Safari (12.1.1 on macOS 10.13.6) began displaying the wrong favicons for some sites; these were favicons associated with other sites. Although not specifically related to troubleshooting this issue, I've quit and restarted Safari and I've restarted the computer. Does anyone know how to refresh the favicons on my system?


Thanks

Favicon cache folder is located in ~/Library/Safari/Favicon Cache.


Before deleting entire favicon cache I'd try to load the websites affected with the wrong favicon in a Private Window. Sometimes Safari refresh the favicon.
