Is Safari 13.0.4 putting Recovered files: Bookmarks.plist and folders in the trash automatically?! What to do?

I found stuff in the trash that I did not put there:

-- Bookmarks.plist property list - 4.7MB

I put this in Recents, but looked again and it is in Downloads for now.

Letting it be until I ask what this means

and is it okay to put this back in trash and empty.

when it seemed to have appeared by itself in the trash?

(or did I inadvertently so something that caused this to be put in trash?)

Please advise.

-- After this Bookmarks.plist property list was found in Downloads, then this appeared in the Trash:

"Recovered files: a document being saved by Safari support"

I moved this to the desktop.

-- Then appeared in the Trash:

Recovered Trash: folder 10KB

Please help me to understand the meaning of what is happening and what i should do about it?

Don't want to trash anything important or essential and a mystery that this is happening unless a feature of the newest automatic update of Safari, now 13.0.4 -on a Mojave 10.14.6 MacBook Air (mid 2013)

Thank you for your time and consideration.
