How to Update and Eliminate Menu in Magento 2?

Create a menu.XML file in your module

    </menu>

</config>

State the update / remove commands in the menu.xml file

Update the existing menu:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Backend:etc/menu.xsd">

    <menu>

        <update id="Magento_Catalog::catalog_products"

             title="New Catalog"

             action="[your_custom_route]/product"/>

    </menu>

</config>

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Backend:etc/menu.xsd">
