I couldn't tell you the box came with the hard drive already instealled inside so unless you can plug a usb hard drive inside then no

Then blackhole is messing up the mount points, I would still recommend a clean flash with a decent image like openvix.

OK, you have nothing mounted as /media/usb so no picons should be placed there.
Back to the start, now that you're removed all other picon folders, issue:

mv /media/picon /picon

again & restart E2.

by restart E2 you mean restart enigma 2

Hi Judge, that means to have worked my Picons are now showing up as normal

and yes they are saved in the root / so im guessing this will improve the life of the HDD by not having to spin up everytime I change channel etc

You weren't storing them on HDD, they were still on flash, just in the wrong location.
/media/usb/ would have been used if you plugged in a USB stick resulting in the loss of all picons as they were stored on flash in that location.
