Do you mean icons? Like icons for applications?

Do you mean the previews of files in your file browser (dolphin, nemo, nautilus, thunar)?

Using KDE, it’s ~/.cache/thumbnails

Indeed, and for details on why specifications.freedesktop.org/…/directory.html

Maybe it’s desktop environment dependent. Better to help yourself by: find / -iregex ‘.*jpg$’ -o -iregex ‘.*jpeg$’

find ~ … would be quicker, auto generated files are likely stored in ~/. cache per-profile.

Quicker… as in for a first-stab, then /var. Rather than scanning the whole disk.

You could definitely be right. I think I remeber storage of some icons under /usr/local/share/… but I could be wrong!
