Remove the core links

2. Save the file.
3. Clear the Magento cache.
Result:
Change the core link
1. To change the actual link and/or the title, use the following reference (remember, add this reference before the closing </body> tag; you need to change the open the app/design/frontend/TemplateMonster/themexxx/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml file):
2. This is the general reference to overwrite the links.
So, for example, if you need to change the ‘Contact Us’ link use contact-us-link instead of the link-name.
Title is the name of the link, path-of-your-page is the actual link.
3. Save the file.
4. Clear the Magento cache.
Result:
Delete Core Link
To delete the Core Footer link, do the following:
1. Go to your Magento root folder and open the app/design/frontend/TemplateMonster/themeXXX/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml file to edit.

Template’s links
All the links that come with the template can be edited in the website admin panel.
You can find them in the Content > Blocks section of the admin area.
Usually the names of the blocks are like Footer column content 1 – 3 but they can vary depending on the template.
