Help with installing and managing custom icons

Hello everyone,

I’m completely new (on HA as on this community) so bear with me please and let me know if I can change the format of my questioning or if I’m doing something wrong.
On to the question.

I tried to add some custom icons to use on a dashboard. Nothing fancy for now but love to eventually get to animated ones (one step at a time).

To do this I followed this “tutorial” by wmaker. Used the same code and added it to /config/www/community/custom_icons.js. Used a svg code from the Hue hass pack so I knew that it was valid. Also added this path in the configuration file:

frontend:
  extra_module_url:
    - /hacsfiles/hass-hue-icons/custom_icons.js

Restarted Home Assistant and it worked. Exciting!
So now I wanted to change the svg code to something different and from this point on I can’t get it to work anymore.
Not only does the new icon not appear, I can’t make the icon dissapear.

In the tutorial the prefix for the icon library used was phu:heroesBloom. So I tried changing phu to cus, restarted Home Assistant but nothing happened. Eventually I just deleted the custom_icons.js and deleted the lines in the configuration but for some reason I can still use phu:heroesBloom.

How does this happen. I feel like its cached somewhere but thought that would be emptied once I restarted Home Assistant.

Thanks for helping,
