Why is paru asking me to move a whole pile of files or directories behind or under the 'Extra' directory?

Is this normal?

[mark@mark-optiplex9020 ~]$ paru
[sudo] password for mark:

I killed the command rather than executing this. Can’t understand why this is necessary?

(Don’t know why it came out bold with copy and paste)

Think the answer is in this thread
