I was wrong. The file is re-created, but is hidden. Not sure why it wasn't originally and is now. Un-hide it then you can run it again if needbe! Ok. I was wrong.

Turns out I didn't need to run a second time cause logging off and back on seemed to fix that. Now, I do not have an IconCache.db file in that location. How do I re-enable? Is it needed? P.S.
