How to get no theme icons in recent dolphin [Mostly solved]

I used to run my kde dolphin with no theme icons just fine before qt6.
Ie no icons for Bookmarked directories, top menu buttons revert to text form ie "Search" instead of an icon.
I still had icons for files from known file formats but not for directories unless i manually assigned one.

With qt6 a default icon theme or something was set which i managed to fix by from what i remember removing read access to a directory in /usr/share/icons, "breeze" it looks like.
But after updating today i cant seem to get it to stop using icons and i dont even get where it is finding them now.

Just as a test i appended a "2" to the following directories /usr/share/themes /usr/share/icons ~/.local ~./config ~./cache  and dolphin is still finding icons to use somehow.
I went through everything from "find /usr -type d -name icons" but none seemed relevant.
If i force remove qt6-svg i can start dolphin without the directory icons and it looks like i want (ie it looks like it did before my update today) but that obviously breaks other programs.

Ex if i set qt6ct theme to Adwaita and start with QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct, i get its icons, if i remove read access to it it falls back to the same i get without qt6ct.
The theme it seems to be falling back to is "breeze" as its /places/22/folder-black.svg is the same one dolphin is showing.

I tried removing and rebuilding icon-theme.cache with gtk-update-icon-cache (if that would somehow get used).
Is there another cache somewhere else (ie not in .cache) that i need to clear or did they include fallback icons directly into the binary now?

Right now:

What i want:

Yes, that's exactly what happened.

Chatted a bit with the devs on https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kicon … -/issues/3 and the top menu can be fixed by right clicking it>toolbar settings> text position>text only.
Right click menu by using qt6ct>interface>unchecking menus have icons.
For the left side menu icons and directory icons i have to make a custom theme with transparent icons.

That should have the smallest upkeep to keep working in the future.
