What is the file EFIAllowListAll.bundle in the “Relocated Items” folder and can I delete it?
I just upgraded my MacBook to Catalina 10.15.4 and now have a new folder shortcut on my desktop called “Relocated Items”. When I follow it, and drill down through, I finally reach a single file called EFIAllowListAll.bundle. The file size is 92.5 MB. The file location is:
~/Users/Shared/Relocated Items/Security/usr/libexec/firmwarecheckers/eficheck/
Please take note... I’ve seen this same question asked in another thread (on this site), however, your support staff never really answered it. Rather, they just posted a couple links to some vaguely related topics. So, let me be crystal clear in the asking, I’m not looking for a general explanation of “Relocated Items”, (I already have that) nor am I looking for links to vaguely related articles. I would like the following questions answered... specifically, not generally:
a) What is this file EFIAllowListAll.bundle (mentioned above) for?
b) What piece of software is it associated with?
i.e.
b.i) Is it a native Apple OS file?
b.ii) Is it part of a 3rd party program?
b.ii.1) If so which one?
c) Why couldn't the OS upgrade installer move/delete it during the install?
d) Now that it's there, what can I do to clean this file up at this point?
d.i)... or should I just ignore it?
Please, to the best of your ability, answer each of the above outlined questions, calling out which part you are answering when. Here is an outline for you to make sure all points are hit, you can copy/paste this section into your reply and answer each one below it's label:
a)
b)
b.i)
b.ii)
b.ii.1)
c)
d)
d.i)
Thanks,
