This guide explains why there is an /icons/ folder within Infomaniak Web Hosting.

/icons/ folder on your Web Hosting

In some cases, a folder named /icons/ is present by default on your web hosting. This folder is generally accessible via HTTP, but is not visible in the FTP tree (www.domain.xyz/icons/).

This /icons/ directory is often used to store specific icons or images used to display directory listings. These icons are generally used by web servers to visually represent the different types of files in directories when viewed through a browser.
