Windows based MySQL WordPress database location mess-up

$

This is a little unusual but here goes...

I was doing some testing on my bitnami based WAMP WordPress installation about 3 months ago, copying the entire bitnami WordPress Multisite Stack to another folder so that I could roll back if necessary. I never needed to rollback and my system function normally.

However, today when I went to move some of the copied folders to an archive folder one of them would not move saying that there were files open. Hmm, I thought, that cannot be good.

I checked and found out that the production MySQL data base is running off of one of the backup MySQL/data folders. Very strange and for sure I don't know how that got setup like that. I also checked the production folder the database frm files are all from 3 months ago. phpMyAdmin reads the database from this backup location.

I need to move the data back to the original location and tell MySQL where to look for it. I know how to export and import with phpMyAdmin but I don't think that will work here because of the configuration messup.

Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
