Determine if icon is being used
1
I saw this icon hb-icon.svg in /usr/share/app-install/icons/
And it is 3.4 Mb !!
Why is an icon so big?
Can I tell if it is being used so if it isn't, I can delete that monster?

It's generally not advisable to mess with or delete package-provided files. Also, 3.4MB is relatively big for a simple icon, but it's really nothing in comparison to other files. We're not in the age of floppies any more anyway. I'd just leave it alone, not much to gain from it but plenty to screw up (not exactly with that icon, probably, but in general)

Probably not safe to delete. It's part of the app-install-data package, which is needed by several other important packages.

If you're at the point where deleting a 3.3M file is starting to look like a Good Idea, you're not solving the right problem - why don't you have enough disk space, and where don't you have it?

I will leave the file. I have plenty of disk space. I use about 80 mb on a 2 Tb drive. But that is not my point. I am scientist and I like learning. I see no issue with trying to improve things.That is one way that things get better. :-)
