Can't find my files with Catalina

Now that I've upgraded to Catalina, where are all my listed files that were previously on Macintosh HD?

MacBook Pro 13″, 10.12

All data for Catalina resides in the -Data volume. You can open Disk Utility and view the 2 separate APFS volumes within a Container.


Yours might be Macintosh HD-Data. But when you look at your Macintosh HD volume from your Desktop or Finder, both volumes are combined and you should see all your files/folders as you normally would.
