Re: Remove icon themes
Under Xfce it is a good habit to install additional icon themes in ~/.icons/
Removing those is easy and doe not require root access ....
Other icon themes should be under /usr/share/icons/, but need root access.

Code: Select all
ls -F /usr/share/icons
Adwaita/ Mint-X/ default/ gnome/ oxygen/
DMZ-Black/ gnome-colors-common/
DMZ-White/
I use use "Mint-X" regular and deleted a bunch of "Mint-X-somethings" as well as some other names.
Pro Tip! Try moving them somewhere else or use a file-browser to send them to trash, then rebooting and testing everything before you actually delete. Note that moving the files to trash won't save any space until you empty it.
Code: Select all
cd /usr/share/icons
sudo mv one-you-dont-want ~/Downloads/.
