How do I clear favicon.ico from the Cache?

Greetings,

I'm developing a web site, and I've decided to delete favicon.ico from the server. However, Opera keeps showing it in the address bar. I've gone into Preferences > Advanced > History and clicked the "Empty Now" button, but Opera still shows the favicon.

Favicon.ico has been deleted off the server, so how can I get Opera to stop showing it?

Thanks,
Shane.

Windows Vista Home Premium SP2
Opera 9.64

Did you clear "bookmark visited time" as well? I think they are related.. If that doesnt work check \opera\profile\icons and look for a www.yoursite.com.idx, it tells opera where to find the icon file. (Its a text file.)
