If old icon is cached then you can try to add some extra parameters to favicon path for example "/favicon.png?1"
Also, maybe you have some "favicon.ico" file in your public folder ?
I don't have any image files in public folder. only the favicon.png
Google might just also need to recrawl your site, I doubt they visit every site every day
I second @Jochem comment. Google usually takes a while to recrawl your site. If you have SearchConsole you could apply for a reindex. That might speed up things.
Here is Googles guidelines just to make sure you meet the requirements. Also, note the information: "A favicon isn't guaranteed in Google Search results, even if all guidelines are met."
