Hey emkep20, thanks for joining our Community.

 

Unfortunately, there's no button or option that will allow you to undo what you have done, but have you tried going back and following the same steps, to see if it allows you to reverse the organization that you did?

 

Does this also show up in your events page?

 

Let me know what you find.

It will not allow me to reverse it. If I delete everything and re upload the photos, will they go back into the subfolders I want to get rid of, or will it reset?

    You should be okay deleting and re-uploading everything.

     

    Just keep in mind that if you want all the files to be in one folder, I would suggest first creating the folder and then uploading all the files in it.

     

    I hope this helps, but if you have any questions, let me know!

      The issue was the sub folders. I already had a folder, I just wanted to get rid of the sub folders. Is that possible ?

        Not automatically, no. You can do it the way you described before, though, and you should be good!
