What the Backspace icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The backspace icon represents a delete or remove action, often used to indicate the removal of content or data. This icon is commonly used in user interfaces to provide a clear and concise way to delete or remove items. The backspace icon is widely recognized and used across various platforms.
In software applications, this icon appears in various contexts, such as text editors, file managers, and data entry fields. For instance, Google Docs and Microsoft Word use similar icons to indicate the delete action. File management systems like Windows Explorer and macOS Finder also employ the backspace icon to indicate deletion.
From a UX perspective, the backspace icon effectively communicates a sense of removal or deletion. It helps users quickly identify the action required to remove content or data, ensuring they take necessary steps to complete tasks. The icon's design is simple yet distinctive, making it easily recognizable.
Backspace is one of 1,781 icons in IconaMoon, made by Dariush Habibpour and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.
Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds BackspaceIcon to components/icons/iconamoon-backspace.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.
Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed BackspaceIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.
Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.
With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Backspace icon, or any of 1,781 IconaMoon icons, and install it from a prompt.
It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.
Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.
Backspace is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.
Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.
Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Backspace", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. BackspaceIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BackspaceIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.
Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.
Yes, with credit: CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Dariush Habibpour) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by Dariush Habibpour, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
