Import photos and folders after reorganizing in windows

I have done structural reorganizing of my photo collection in Windows Explorer. So how do I:

1. Import that on top of my previous structue?

2. As I have Folders having, but not showing Sub folders (0) and I still want those to be imported, how do I import those as well?

3. Do I  have to first remove all my photos and folders and then import?

Thanks

    If the images and folder you moved, restructured, were originally imported into LR and now show as missing, a question or exclamation mark next to them, you should not try to Re-Import them again.

    Use the Find missing files/images/photos and or the Update Folder Location systems to point LR to the new location of the folders and or image files.

    Right click on a folder in LR and select to show parent folder.
