[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1832951, member: 204485"] Patrick I think I can answer that question. In post#2 I showed the file path to the relocated item from the Supplemental. I did not delete /Users/Shared/Relocated Items. Nor did I delete it in the first instance of upgrading to Catalina. The new "relocated" item went into the original folder with the addition of /Configuration/private/etc/syslog.conf.system_default. So it did not create a new Relocated Items Folder it put the file in the old one. So its fine to keep /Users/Shared/Relocated Items. In point of fact there's probably no need to delete these files at all, they're so small and do no harm. For me it was just housekeeping and testing to see if it could be done. My experience has been that it's better to delete the actual file before trying to trash the alias. I tried it the other way around in the first example and it didn't like that. You can however move the alias to the same folder as the original just to get it off the desktop. [/QUOTE]
