Messed up my libraries

[Jason_Tan_]

So in my computer I have a 256gb ssd and two 3tb hard drives running in raid 1 and I wanted to move my photos which have 30+ gb of photos on it which I dont want on my ssd. What I did was, I started to move these files over like, pictures, videos, contacts etc. Now when I go into the photos app it says that it cannot find any photos even when I manually tell it to go to the new file location in my hard drive. I was googling this and came up on restoring the library to default and was curious if that would wipe my data that is already on the discs saved in these files? Is there a way to get these photos to work without having to do this? I am not too good with this type of stuff  Thanks in advance!
