As you can see in this image, my folder and file icons are messed up. The trash app icon is messed up too. I changed themes and icon themes in tweak and maybe that's what triggered this but then I did change everything back to default and it's still not back to normal. Hope I find a solution.

You can try resetting your Gnome Desktop, there are two ways to do this:

    Open terminal, paste following command:

    sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
    

    Bring up gnome tweaks, then click tweaks taskbar, select Reset to Defaults from dropdown.

  • Reset from terminal

    Execute following command to terminal:

    dconf reset -f /org/gnome/
