Thank you for the Link:

As it Reads:

“You can find the Relocated Items folder in the Shared folder within the User folder. The PDF document in the Relocated Items folder explains what to do with files placed in this folder.”

It’s Been Trashed:

So, this is new in Catalina? I don’t have a clue as to why the 10.15.2 update never caught it. Must have been created ever since that update. That’s all I can figure.

It’s Been Reported:

The catch is, it didn’t pop up in the Trash — It popped up on the Desktop, instead. Also. the feedback page does not have 10.15.3 for a Feedback Option. So, 10.15.3 is mentioned in my feedback report.

Kappy Said:

"[...]The folder is not usually created on the Desktop but usually appears in the Trash.[...]"

Regarding that Sentence:

The shortcut popping up is probably some setting in my System Preferences. I plan to look into it, current events on others' posts. If something relevant to my OP pops up, I'll reply back.

Thank you kindly.

Kappy Said:

"It's a system log configuration file that is either no longer needed or has been replaced. Ignore it and/or delete the whole folder."

Thank you for the quick reply Kappy.

I Time Machine Backup'ed my Mac; Deleted the folders and the file; Restarted my Mac; logged in; all is fine.

Just Curious: Did you get this file after the update?

The macOS10.15.2 Update never caught it.

And I don't recall ever seeing a "Relocated Items" shortcut being created on my Desktop after any update whatsoever (though, maybe I have come across one, and just don't recall it).
