I think you will have a hard time doing that. Recovering data like this cannot be done more perfectly than reinstalling them. You might give it a shot but I think the apps will not work. Good luck!

I am getting pretty fucking sick and tired of the "watch something else" responses. It's such a cop out answer because you could say that about basically anything, and it doesn't address the actual complaints. People use it as some kind of card they pull when they can't actually respond to the criticism raised but they still feel like they need to defend some company/person. If you don't like this thread then stop reading it. See how stupid it is? It's basically like telling someone "shut the fuck up". It's not a clever responsive, it doesn't address anything said, and it is rude.

In his video titled "I Visited Apple's Secret iPhone Testing Labs!", he has shown that he makes no effort to fact check Apple's claims, and takes it at face value. I do not believe he can be trusted as an Reviewer/Influencer.

The next time you might want to create a partition.. put your system files in one and your personal files in the other. Don’t ever touch that system files partition!

Restart in safe mode and copy folder back overwriting everything there. 

Some open application would have created files between the moment you moved folder and when you figured up your screwup, so in safe mode almost no applications are opened and you would be able to overwrite anything created.

Reinstall everything that is not working properly. You can still paste settings/profile stuff in those folders. Thats how I backup and restore stuff after I have reinstalled OS.
