Having 2 Application folders in macOS Catalina I just installed Macos Catalina. After the update I did a check on what's new and I found something new which is a double / redundant "Applications" folder. Usually the old Application folder is located in Disk / Users / Applications, but now there is also an Application folder in Disk / System / Volumes / Data / Applications.

My question is: can I deleted the old Application folder? Because it's consuming my hard disk. And if I delete the old application folder, can it disrupt the app's performance?
Can I delete the old Application folder?


No, you should not.

I looks like one (/Application) is virtual folder for another (/System/Volumes/Data/Applications).



To fix duplication in Alfred, just type reload in it.
