Solution 1 :

the problem isn’t padding. The icon occupies all that space. Use absolute positioning

table {
  width: 100%;
  table-layout: fixed;
}

.firstrow > td {
    padding-top: 10px;
}

.datarow > td > div {
  overflow: hidden;
  padding-top: 5px;
  font-size: 16px;
}

.datarow > td > div > div {
  float: left;
  padding-right: 5px
}

Problem :

I’m trying to remove the bottom padding from a font awesome icon. I tried this answer, but no success.

Here is an example. Because of this padding I have an unwanted spacing between the two table rows (see example).

table {
  width: 100%;
  table-layout: fixed;
}

.firstrow > td {
    padding-top: 10px;
}

.datarow > td > div {
  overflow: hidden;
  padding-top: 5px;
  font-size: 16px;
}

.datarow > td > div > div {
  float: left;
  padding-right: 5px
}

            <td>{{frc.version}}</td>
          </tr>
          <tr class="firstrow">
            <td>VA</td>
            <td>BA</td>
            <td>Bevétel</td>
          </tr>
          <tr class="datarow">
            <td>
              <div>
                <div>-10,25M€</div>
                <i class="fas fa-sort-up" style="font-size: 32px; color: #5cb85c;"></i>
              </div>
            </td>
            <td>
              <div>
                <div>-20,99M€</div>
                <i class="fas fa-sort-up" style="font-size: 32px; color: #d9534f;"></i>
              </div>
            </td>

            </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>
              <div style="overflow: hidden; font-size: smaller;">
                <div style="float: left; color: #5cb85c">+0,45</div>
                <div style="float: left; padding: 0px 2px 0px 2px">/</div>
                <div style="float: left; color: #5cb85c">+1,25%</div>
              </div>

            <td></td>
            <td></td>
          </tr>
        </table>

How can I solve it?

EDIT: originally I added all the code to a snippet, but then SO complained, that the post is just only code. So now I’m adding this text, hoping, that it will be enough. I understand, that SO has some rules, but in the past time I got tired of it. I post a fully question with example and it isn’t good enough.

What you’re trying probably won’t work because there is no padding being applied to that icon. If you inspect and compare the
