Dear Tristan.

You are not using the correct sintax in your commands. Notice the
following comments. (I will not comment the correct ones.)

Here you are telling bash to move file really to directory
/usr/share/icons and to move file really-little-guys to directory
/usr/share/icons.

You probably already created that directory before.

You are not specifying a destination directory. You specified a source
directory. But I don't think that directory
(really-little-guys/home/linuxlibre/.icons) exists inside your home
directory (~).

You see? really-little-guys/home/linuxlibre directory does not exist
inside you current directory (your home).
-t is not vali/home/quiliro/d!

Same problem.

> mv: cannot stat ‘really-little-guys/home/linuxlibre/Téléchargements’: No such file or directory

Same again.

> ls: cannot access /root/really-little-guys/home/linuxlibre/Téléchargements: No such file or directory

Again. It does not exist!

That command is to search for location of commands not directories or
files. To find those, use the 'find' command.
/home/quiliro/

Move the /usr/share/icons? Why? You have not specified the destination
directory either.

You did not specify destination directory.

----

I  guess I have been as persistent and lost as you are.

'ls' command will list the contents of the current directory
'ls directory_name' will tell you the contents of directory_name
'cd directory_name' will change to directory_name and make it the
current directory
'cd' will change to your home directory and make it the current directory
'pwd' will tell you what the current directory is
'mv source_directory destination_parent directory_or_new_name' will move
a directory inside another directory
If you do not want to specify the whole route to a file or directory,
you can go into the parent directory and just specify the file or
directory name.
If you are in /home/quiliro and have a file to move to
/home/quiliro/Downloads, these two commands are equivalent:
mv /home/quiliro/test0 /home/quiliro/Downloads
mv test0 Downloads/

Hope this mini-tutorial helps.
