How to delete some of Categories built-in icons

[profinite]

How would I delete some of the built-in icons that come with Categories by default?

When you install Categories from Cydia, by default it comes with quite a few icons that you can assign to various folders. But, those icons that have the same designs in different colors are annoying to scroll through because I do not like them.

I believe that they're in /private/var/stash/Applications*/Categories.app/icons/, just delete the ones you don't want.

How often do you really have to look at them ?

Oh well, to each their own.

One more...

Icons are also in /var/mobile/Media/Categories/Icons.

Note: The last time I removed icons, and upgraded Categories, the icons I deleted got put back.

Thank you so much for your help. That's exactly where I wanted to go in.

Thanks for your information, too. That's where the icons I like reside. I didn't know that, either. And, thanks for letting me know that an upgrade will reinstall the icons. That's OK.

Haha, yes, I thought about that, too. But, it's just that these icons of the same design in different colors got to me and I wanted to get rid of them!

Actually, my desire to delete icons had another purpose.

As I was selecting an icon for a folder in Categories, I was watching the available free memory that is displayed at the upper-right corner of the screen. As I scrolled down through dozens of icons, I noticed that the amount of free memory would go down to 10MB, 8MB, 7MB and Categories would eventually crash. No matter how many times I tried to go back into Categories, even after rebooting my iPhone, Categories would crash when the amount of free memory goes down to around 7MB.

That's when I thought that Categories would put these icons into the free memory space as I scrolled through them. And, that's why I thought that it would prevent Categories from crashing if I drastically reduced the number of icons to scroll through.

However, even after I just deleted about 120 icons, the amount of free memory still goes down rapidly to 10MB as I scroll down through the icons.
