Usually, on a well-done Server, a Customer has access to some tools, to use, and one of them works like a Windows Explorer. By Use of this Tool, you will be able to create as many Image Folders as you like, and you can bulk-move your images into those Folders again.
Or then, just use an FTP-Client, then, you are able to do the same, usually easier, faster, and more transparent too, compared with Server-based Tools.
Your Image-Manager is nothing but a tool, it does not 'have' any folders, most of them just access/display existing folders within your Shop Software on the Server. Some Image-Managers are a bit more sophisticated in handling, when it comes to bulk-move images, or 'handling' Subs, e.t.c., still, FTP-Access is by far the most efficient way, to even BULK-MOVE images, within the Server, into their corresponding Folders again.
The only problem could be, that you possibly have to re-set every image-link to it's product again, because in the DB, those images are linked to
somewhere/something, and visible only, if
somewhere matches the real 'sub(s)' on the server, where those images exist.

Good Luck

One more hint: After you have it all done, completely clean out all your
cached image Sections, or you have a good chance, to carry those surplus Subs and Images forever on your Server, just costing Space, and Time
