[Bug 1721950] [NEW] Icon themes obtained through Systemsettings cannot be fully removed

[Øystein Alværvik]

Public bug reported:

When I attempt to remove an icon theme from System Settings, a message
pops up saying "Could not remove the file
/home/ystein/.local/share/icons/<name of icon theme>/." The theme is
then removed from the System Settings' list of icon themes. But when I
browse to the icon theme in .local/share/icons/ I can see that many
files remain.

Steps to reproduce: Go to System Settings -> Icons and choose to
download a new theme. Pick any theme for install. Within System
Settings, choose the downloaded icon theme and click Remove theme. Enjoy
the message that follows.
