Should I merge content folders manually outside of DIM ?

I find that I may have organised my Daz Studio content into too many folders, which now seems silly.  I used DIM to install to the various destinations.  Is it safe to merge my content folders say by a copy and paste in file explorer (windows environment) ?  I expect DIM will get confused ?  How best to do this, please, anyone ?

    The main potential issue is that DIM stroes the absolute location of its installs in the manifest files for that product (the .dsx file in the Manifests folder). You can tell it to use the current install path for updates, but it won't - as far as I know - remove old files thata ren't in their current location. That won't usually be an issue, but if an update needs to remove a file (as, for example, when a morph is renamed) then the old file may be left behind. You can edit the manifest files, or you can uninstall from the old location and reinstall in the new. Connect, and the CMS in general, will work correctly with the moved files.

    Noted, thanks, Richard.  I can’t escape some elbow grease in DIM, then.
