Title: Relocated Items folder
Post by: jchuzi on November 05, 2021, 07:24:29 AM

After each OS update, I have seen a Relocated Items folder on the desktop (actually an alias). I never knew what to make of it but this article explains it: What macOS Monterey's 'Relocated Items' are, and how to delete them (https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/11/04/what-macos-montereys-relocated-items-are-and-how-to-delete-them) Although I am not using Monterey, the info applies equally to Big Sur (and, I suspect, at least some OSs previous to Big Sur). The actual files took up a bit of space so I deleted them, following the procedure in that article.

This may be of interest to anyone else who wondered about it.
