Hey emkep20 ,

 

I work on the product team here at Dropbox. If you have files spread across subfolders and want to bring them back to one specific folder, I would suggest trying to go into those subfolders, selecting all the files with the checkbox in the top right corner of the page next to the layout toggles, and right clicking them. This should open up a menu with "Move". From there you can navigate through your folders and and select the folder you want to move them to. 

Once everything has been moved back to where you want it, you can delete the empty subfolders by selecting them, right clicking, and choosing "Delete".
