Delete or remove symbols

Question

I have one questions regarding moderncv. here

The first one: I could not figure out how to remove the symbols from moderncv. I tried the linked answer and past into the moderncv.cls and nothing changed it.

\renewcommand*{\mobilephonesymbol}   {}

\renewcommand*{\faxphonesymbol}      {}
\renewcommand*{\emailsymbol}         {}
\renewcommand*{\homepagesymbol}      {}
\renewcommand*{\linkedinsocialsymbol}{}
\renewcommand*{\twittersocialsymbol} {}
\renewcommand*{\githubsocialsymbol}  {}

First of all: You should not change the .cls file... Second: Provide a compilable document and specify, which symbols should be removed... — , Mar 27 '18 at 11:54
@ChristianHupfer How can I share this document. I will add the free source for this cover letter. — may, Mar 27 '18 at 12:18
@ChristianHupfer I do not know in which document of the files I should change because there are many subfiles such as main, cls, and others pre default — may, Mar 27 '18 at 12:34
Please provide a full minimal working example starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document} instead of code snippets. Otherwise we have no way of testing anything. — campa, Mar 27 '18 at 12:42
You are working with a template you downloaded, correct? Please give the top part of main.tex — Johannes_B, Mar 27 '18 at 12:51
I noticed the link later. Actually, that part is misleading and not helpful at all. But this is the fault of the owner of that GitHub repository. — Johannes_B, Mar 27 '18 at 13:08

You need not to change the class file, simply add the \renewcommands in your letter code.

Please note that the current version of class moderncv is 2.0.0. The github repository you linked to uses an outdated version! Better use the current one!
