Problems changing my folder icons back to original

[bigjnyc]

So i want to change my folder icons back to their original state, I found a set online with the default leopard icons in PNG format and I tried copying and pasting in the get info screen like you normally would but all i get is that white little preview sheet as the image (see attached screenshot)

I then found out all the original icons are saves in the resources folder so i tried those both in ICNS format and converted one to PNG but still no dice. can anyone help me revert my icons back to original

Get Info on an item. Select the icon in the top-left. Press Command+X.

That should cut the icon and return it to the original.

I ended up trying this tool called icon droplet which converts ICNS files to finder friendly icon files, then just copied and pasted from there. Wish I would have tried your method though would have saved me a lot of work. Thanks I will keep it in mind for next time.
