“Remove” button added for logo images:

Before, in Dashboard (Engine Settings → Settings → Branding) section which is for logo upload, users could only upload photos but are unable to remove them.

Now, we have made a new option that allows users to remove the current photo. After removal, it will automatically use the default image for display.
