If you see a Relocated Items folder on your Mac after upgrading macOS

When you upgrade your Mac to macOS 10.15 or later, all your files and data are carefully reviewed to ensure they’re valid and authorized, undamaged, and in the correct locations. Some of your files couldn’t be moved to their new locations and were placed in a Relocated Items folder. You can find the Relocated Items folder in the Shared folder within the Users folder. The PDF document in the Relocated Items folder explains what to do with files placed in this folder.
