When I just looked into my Settings > Appearance > Icons, I noticed that besides Breeze and Breeze Dark, the Adwaita Icon Theme is also installed there. For sure I did NOT install this myself! I also have no GNOME programs installed other than Firefox and GIMP that it could be a dependency of. How did this get there? The Ghost in the Shell?
And can I delete it without damaging anything?
You can find out for sure with
pactree -r adwaita-icon-theme
However, I think it is a dependency of gtk3.
So you would probably have to remove all your gtk applications to get rid of it.

That’s a lot of dependencies, isn’t it?
Yep. You should probably just hang onto those icons. 
I just thought so too …
thx @dalto
