"Upgrade" to Catalina lost my files previously stored on the hard drive In the previous upgrade my former hard drive files were accessible through a Relocated Items folder. It was ponderous but they were still there. In Catalina that same folder has nothing. Where are my years of critical files and how to I get them back?

Were that located outside your home folder? If so, look in Relocated Items (it is in /Users/Shared/, but there should be an alias on your Desktop).
