I Hope this is useful for you,

if you want to remove top.links

Add default.xml file in this path

app/design/frontend/vendor/theme/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml

        <page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
            <body>

                    <referenceBlock name="register-link" remove="true" />           <!--for Create Account Link-->
                    <referenceBlock name="authorization-link" remove="true" />      <!--for Sign In Link  -->
                    <referenceBlock name="wish-list-link" remove="true" />          <!--for WishList Link-->
                    <referenceBlock name="my-account-link" remove="true" />         <!--for My Account Link-->

            </body>
        </page>

if you want to add Custom top links:

go to app/design/frontend/vendor/theme/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml

        <page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
            <body>
            <referenceBlock name="header.links">
                <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link" name="custom-link">
                <arguments>
                    <argument name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">custom link</argument>
                    <argument name="path" xsi:type="string" translate="true">customlink</argument>
                </arguments>
                </block>
            </referenceBlock>

            </body>
        </page>

You can add and remove top links by add this line in your in Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml

    <referenceBlock name="header.links">
    <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link" name="new.link" after="register-link">
        <arguments>
            <argument name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="false">New Link</argument>
            <argument name="path" xsi:type="string" translate="false">newlink</argument>
        </arguments>
    </block>

    <!-- here you can remove whatever link you feel unwanted -->
    <referenceBlock name="register-link" remove="true" />           <!--for Create Account Link-->
    <referenceBlock name="authorization-link" remove="true" />      <!--for Sign In Link  -->
    <referenceBlock name="wish-list-link" remove="true" />          <!--for WishList Link-->
    <referenceBlock name="my-account-link" remove="true" />         <!--for My Account Link-->
    </referenceBlock>

To add a Toplink in your website header, create a custom module and then follow this:

Method#1 Basic link using layout XML

// app/code/Namespace/Modulename/view/frontend/layout/default.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="top.links">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link\Current" name="whatsapp-link" before="my-account-link">
                <arguments>
                    <argument name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Contact us on Whatsapp</argument>
                    <argument name="path" xsi:type="string">some-path-url-string</argument>
                    <argument name="class" xsi:type="string" translate="false">contact-whatsapp</argument>
                    <argument name="sortOrder" xsi:type="number">100</argument>
                    <argument name="target" xsi:type="string">_blank</argument>
                </arguments>
            </block>       
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>

By just using this file, you will be able to create a custom top link, and with the added class you can style it in you css/less files.

Method#2 Using Template phtml file Sometimes there are requirements when you need more control over newly added toplinks, or add image or write your own html. For adding a custom toplink using a template, follow this way.

// app/code/Namespace/Modulename/view/frontend/layout/default.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="top.links">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link\Current" name="whatsapp-link" template="Namespace_Modulename::whatsappLink.phtml">
            </block>       
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>

And then add the template phtml file defined in xml above in your code as follow.

// app/code/Namespace/Modulename/view/frontend/templates/whatsappLink.phtml
<li class="link whatsapp-link">
    <a href="some-path-url-string" title="Connect via Whatsapp" target="_blank">
        <img class="whatsapp-img" src='<?php echo $this->getViewFileUrl('Namespace_Modulename::images/WhatsApp_logo.png'); ?>' alt="Whatsapp Image">
        <span class="whatsapp-label">Connect via Whatsapp</span>
    </a>
</li>

Using this way, I added my icon with toplink and I can play with it as per requirement.

To remove header link

// app/code/Namespace/Modulename/view/frontend/layout/default.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="my-account-link" remove="true" />        
    </body>
</page>
