After updating to macOS Catalina, all the folders I had saved in the root directory, "/", were missing.



I read that the system is now read-only, but didn't see a notice on where previous files have gone.



Are they on the system or do I need to restore them from backup?

          This took me a long time to figure out, but any file that was formerly at, e.g., /my-cool-directory was moved to /Users/Shared/Relocated Items/Security/my-cool-directory.



          I ended up moving the directories by running this command from the terminal:



          cd "/Users/Shared/Relocated Items/Security"
          sudo mv my-cool-directory ~/
          # enter your system password when it asks you


          After doing that, my file is then located in my home directory, e.g. ~/my-cool-directory
