Random folder with System Volume Information at root.

Since I've updated to Catalina, I noticed a random person's name in the root of my Macintosh HD, and wondering why it is there now.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

Sorry if I wasn't clear, can you please expand the "system volume information" folder that is underneath BRETT. I have had a quick google and this is the only thing I have come across which relates to BRETT - have you used anything of this software?

I have never seen this before, did this machine have another owner before? can you post a screenshot with the system volume information expanded as well?

It didn't have another owner before me. I am the only one who has ever used this computer. I also checked my Time Machine and it wasn't there before the update.

Inside the Macintosh HD under volumes is what it looked like before the update.
