[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1832597, member: 38864"] There's a rather.... irritating bug Apple introduced here that apparently is widespread. In my Relocated Items, if you dive through the folders, there's an "X11" symlink that leads to /opt/X11. You can put the symlink in the trash, but the trash won't empty because macOS "needs" it. Apparently the only way to delete this symlink (and thus the Relocated Items folder) is to boot into Recovery Mode and use Terminal. Pffft. "Just works", they say.
