How do I edit the icons? specifically for the Thunar file manager icon. It has an ugly icon and needs changing.

Practically it gets set together with the whole icon set but ...... can be changed inside the chosen icon set or using another available set as default icon set.
the used icon set as a whole can be changed in the "icon theme" tab from "preferences"-> "customize look and feel" or if you want to keep the current theme:
You can replace the thunar icon yourself in "/usr/share/icons/..." with the one you prefer.
Do tell us which icon set you're currently using and what you'd like to see it look like. If it looks good enough (and its one of our own icon sets) we could have it changed so others might profit.
OKay. I was able to make the change. Here is the I selected and made for my system.

At least it looks like file management icon and not that other thing represented. In previous versions of EliveOS they had decent icons for Thunar but not any more it seems.
That's a 3D version ..... those have been out of use for quite a while now (albeit I do have a soft spot for them too). It definitely wont mix nicely with the flat or neon versions that are in use lately.
What Elive version are you running?
I don't seem to have that icon set (Linux icons) on my 3.8.34 machine. 
Same version you are. I just put in my collection from years ago. Here is what I collected.

If you can find a flat that represents a file manager that would be great! Otherwise I will look for one for you to put in.
What you mean/show there is a file-cabinet which is in fact among the first filemanager representations.
IIRC my windows3 had that icon as did the first Apples.
A flat version would be something like this:
Or for Beautyline cpmatibility:
Or take a look here for more inspiration:
