Just copy that file to the upper forum/domain directory.
It depends on the browser on how to clear the cache. You might press Shift-F5 to force a site refresh, but maybe your browser does store favicons in a seperate icon cache. Then just wait until the browser refreshes itself. Or try to put a parameter behind the icon file source, e.g. "favicon.ico?20191016".
BTW. If you want to create or edit favicon file (*.ico) from any image, you can use this great online tool to generate icon for different dimensions.
