Mass move of source files in Photoshop Elements (PSE) 7...or 6 or 5 or 4...

Question

Because my Photoshop Elements 7 (previously 5 and 3 and 1) catalog outlasted multiple computers, I’ve “restored” the catalog multiple times. When I’ve done so, I’ve wanted to keep my picture file structure, so I selected that option in the restore. However, instead of restoring to the C: drive, I restored to C/Users/me/Pictures…so you probably know the situation. My picture files are now in C:Users/me/Pictures/users/me/Pictures/users/me/Pictures/MyAlbum/[Various folders]. It’s ugly and a pain to deal with. Is there any way to move the source files from:
C:Users/me/Pictures/users/me/Pictures/users/me/Pictures/MyAlbum/[Various folders]
   To
C: Users/me/Pictures/[Various folders]
I know I can do this one pic at a time from within PSE, but can I do something as a batch while maintaining the "various folders" with names indicating dates and topics? At this point, I cannot simply backup and restore at the C: level because the damage is done! The file structure is already 11+ folders deep!!
Thanks!

In the Organizer, go to Display > Folder Location view, where you can move entire folders (and all their subfolders) by drag-and-drop in the left-hand pane.  Drag the folder:
C:/Users/me/Pictures/users/me/Pictures/users/me/Pictures/MyAlbum
to the folder:
     C:/Users/me/Pictures/
This will shorten the folder path to:
C:/Users/me/Pictures/MyAlbum
