After playing with countless iContainers over the last few months, my hard drive is littered with folder icons that aren't the ones I want to keep. For example, I am using Rhapsodized (Azul) icons but I still have some folders that use the WOA or Crystal icons. I did a "Get Info" on them, selected the icon, and pressed Delete, but it's still there so I know I didn't cut and paste it there. Any software that can recursively scan my hard drive and replace all folder icons with the default one? Thanks.

going into CandyBar and hitting the "Restore Defaults" button should make all the icons the default aqua.

That didn't work...to top it off, when I create a new icon using contexual menu, it comes up in old WOA even though I applied Rhapsody icontainer...KOOKY.

A better question may be, where are all the system default icons located so I can manually change them?

It sounds like things are sort of messed up. If reapplying the default iconset, rebooting, and possibly repeating does not fix the problem you may want to look into Apple's support site for a possible way to reset the icons.
