Please brahma, take a few seconds to read and confirm what you’re typing. Your quoting has weird typography. Your urging to use preformatted text but don’t use it yourself.
Output from this:
pacman -Qs 'gnome|xfce|cinnamon'
Im on phone and its hell for me to type on it, and didnt noticed the quotes
Thank you. Yes its hard for me to know without experience if a command is right or wrong. I just copy paste.

Still all icons missing. Maybe it helps to understand what brought the icons temporarily back after I deleted the deepin packages and dtkgui etc?
you can remove also this:
pamac remove js68
well your system is a little messy, so it could be anything…

Thank you so much. This should have fixed it. Icons stay even after reboot. Now my 2nd monitor does not work, but I think this is probably because of the new driver and easier to fix. I will try tomorrow.
