Android Studio compiles old icon

Issue

I started an Android project using the default icon (ic_launcher) using Android Studio. But now I want to change the icon to something else. I tried replacing all the ic_launcher.pngs in the project directory, copying the icons under a new name and change the AndroidManifest.xml but the app still has the old ic_launcher. I also tried restarting Android Studio, Invalidate Cache and Restart, uninstall the app from the device but the icon never changed.

PS : Removing the android:icon="@drawable/logo" (NOTE : I changed ic_launcher.png to logo.png to see if it works then) changed the icon to the default android icon. But putting it back still gives me the same old one.

Is there a different procedure to change the icon of an app using Android Studio?

Solution

I don't know what is the exact problem (Android Studio even showed the correct icon in the preview despite the app having the incorrect icon) but I resolved it by copying the same icon under a different name and changing the Manifest accordingly.
