I accidentally deleted all my game icons [Solved]
Like the title says, I accidentally deleted all the files of the icons for the game shortcuts when I reinstalled Steam.
Everytime I make a new shortcut for a game they don't have an icon. I checked the files in the Steam folder and the files for the icons are missing. Does anybody know how to get them back except reinstalling every single game (Games I recently installed do have their icon files).

PS: English is my second language so I hope everything is understandable, if not, feel free to ask for clarification.

You can change the icon of each individual game there. If you don't have the icons, try verifying the integrity of the game cache.

I already tried verifying the game cache before, after your comment I went to check the files and an icon is back. Verifying the game cache does bring back the icons, so thanks :)

I think I've already found something to automatically verify every game in my library, so that should help
