Upgraded to Catalina on Nov. 10. Most files went into recents. Just checked again cause I wanted to start moving them and now they are all gone. I have lost about 5oo gigs from my hard drive. What is going on?
Mac mini, macOS 10.15
Recents is a search folder. Nothing is stored in there. It shows the "recently used" files, but they are still stored wherever they were.
You may have allowed Desktop & Documents in iCloud Drive to enable. If so, your Desktop and Documents folders will show up in iCloud Drive in the Sidebar.
Catalina - now files gone
