If you add a folder by mistake, select it then click on the Removal Button button to remove it from the list.

Click on the "Add Icons" button to start adding icons straight away. Alternatively, click inside the list to select one or more folders. Use the Submenu Popup Button button below the list to open a pop-up menu that lets you change the icon style for the selected folders.
