Bug Description

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.
