That's Arum maculatum, often known as 'lords and ladies' or 'cuckoo pint' and is a weed.  To remove it, you need to dig down deep and be sure to remove the little knobbly brown corm which is attached to the bottom of the white fleshy stem, or it will come back:

I actually first thought it was a  Hosta !
Birds no doubt 😎

I thought it was lesser celandine.

I think the leaves look too big for that, Lyn.  Yes, that's also a weed, @romahev
