Windows 26H2

I plugged in my phone to copy some files. Windows brought up a window I had not seen before, asking me if I wanted to copy files to Gallery.

(I should have declined.)

It copied the pictures over, but it also moved all my organized pictures on my PC out of their subfolders and dropped them all into D:\pictures.

Over 10,000 pictures...
How can I move them back to the correct folders?

I did a search, and AI says Gallery is just a view and that all pictures remain in their subfolders, but when I check the subfolders, they are all empty.
