macOS 26 automatically adds default icons based on the menu item's standard action. To disable this, start the Terminal app, execute

Code: 
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSMenuEnableActionImages -bool false

and log out and back in.

The icons added by the app developer are still there, but the automatically added default icons are gone.

To delete NSMenuEnableActionImages

Code: 
defaults delete NSGlobalDomain NSMenuEnableActionImages
