Favourite Icons Grey

Hi, we had a problem with slow wi-fi in the area and I foolishly thought it was my MacBook slowing down. We cleared the history (Safari) and my friend may have done some other things. But now only a few of the coloured favourite icons have returned. I have tried a safe boot but no joy. Also strangely if I create a new icon it won't let me name it and gives it the name it already has, and the new one is grey.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

If you're referring to favicons, the Favicon cache folder is located in ~/Library/Safari/Favicon Cache.


Before deleting entire favicon cache I'd try to load the websites affected with the wrong favicon in a Private Window. Sometimes Safari refresh the favicon.
