I had a computer "meltdown" a couple of weeks ago; I did get it fixed. I had a few custom icons on folders, and they disappeared. Using Spotlight, I searched and found several files called "icon?"; the files look like they are almost empty. Is there anyway I can delete them? I did use a command to show hidden files, but they didn't show up, so I have no idea where they are.

Create a new folder and drag and drop the content to the new folder,
customize the icon as you see fit.
Delete the old folder.
If all of this if for not— Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-10 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Then reboot as normal.

That is a spotlight search— open them in Finder and delete them there.
search by the file/folder name
It may be possible if everything is intact—command i will open the information pane for the selected folder. Highlight the icon in the upper left, and command Z may return the default icon.
Or you can re-add your own.
I performed those commands, and the icon? did show up, but there was no way to delete it.
Remove icon?
