I accidentally deleted my default terminal icon and I also unintentionally replaced the Terminal.icns file in /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app/Contents/Resources/Terminal.icns So can anyone provide me with the original icns file? This not a duplicate question the other question is regarding apps not icons and I have deleted the icon not app please red the question carefully

  • It is a duplicate, the linked question applies to any system file, including files within apps, and restoring the entire app would solve your problem anyway even though that's not the only solution provided.

Reset to default

If you already updated to macOS 10.12.6 (Sierra) simply download and re-run the 10.12.6 Combo installer. One of the subsequent installer packages updates Terminal.app (with the missing Terminal.icns) which will replace your "broken" Terminal.app.

  • Reinstalling a combo patch or the full install always is a great option.

To do so would be copyright infringement; however, you could use Pacifist to extract the files from the Sierra install app.

  • This is a great use of your tool - it presents a safe visual for anyone not looking to mount Recovery HD manually to get back parts of the core system without a reinstall. apple.stackexchange.com/a/116612/5472

You can also opt for grabbing one that looks almost identical imo.

Edit: the comments mention these were extracted from Yosemite, so I guess they are actual apple icons.
