Comment 4 for bug 534651

I'm experiencing the exact same issue with erroneous emblems decorating my 'Downloads' and 'Documents' folders. I suspect the cause is, as is suggested above, the assignment of an emblem which is non-existent in my current icon theme (elementary-monochrome). The thing is I've iterated through each and every one of my installed icon themes in an effort to identify the errant emblem(s) to no avail. I must have deleted the offending icon theme at some point and since this behaviour is not replicated in nautilus and I'm new to docky2, I never realised there was an issue until now.

Is there any means of removing ALL assigned emblems from any given folder or file icon?
