I’ve had this issue for a while now, since I thought I could fix it myself. Almost all my programs have lost their icon image, which is not fixable by applying a different icon theme unfortunately. Just installed the Reversal icon pack to test that. My settings are attached here, sorry for the german:
I am assuming this is due to some of the weird behaviour I have had for some days months ago. Gnome would just not load and instead show me an error screen. So I had to uninstall gnome entirely, then reinstall it and that magically fixed it, but my icons were gone.

Aside: You don’t ever need to apologise for your native language 😊
even germans?
Especially Germans, and your cousins who live in the swamp next door.
We can’t help the fact our languages just arent’t that elegant, no need to apologize for it.
Wut?
Try running
update-icon-cachesas root and restarting GNOME.Maybe this package isn’t installed either, since I get some sort of error message: Usage: /usr/sbin/update-icon-caches directory [ … ] I tried assigning some directory to it like this: sudo update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons But this didn’t change anything either.

This is all what shows up. Heres my complete terminal output:
marty@MartyPC:~$ sudo update-icon-caches [sudo] Passwort für marty: Usage: /usr/sbin/update-icon-caches directory [ ... ] marty@MartyPC:~$deleted by creator
Look at the comment I made above. I already tried that. EDIT: I almost didn’t see the star, sorry
Try running your file manager or something else that displays icons from the terminal, it may log error messages.
Have you recently fixed another issue? Perhaps run out of disk space during an update?
Naw, I still have a good 100 GB left on my storage.
Backup and do a fresh install
