Help. Videos all showing offline!

I was nearly finished editing my latest video which needs to be uploaded today for my class. I decided to tidy up my videos file by creating sub-files and putting the videos in there. I do not know if the problem happened before that or after, but now all of my videos are showing as offline and I can't open any of them. They all have that red "Media Offline" script with the Japanese font.

I read the other complaints about this problem and did the following:

I opened and released all of the videos I had filed. Nothing.

I restored everything from the recycle bin in case I had inadvertently deleted something important. THAT was a disaster. And nothing.

I tried to find the button that says "Online" but I can't find it.

I am running Adobe Premiere Elements 14.

It happened because you moved the location of the files by creating subfolders.

Does Premiere Elements open a window asking you to relink the fileswhen you open the project?

Have you tried right clicking the files in the Media Panel and choosing "relink"?

But I tried to free everything in the subfolders.   I also tried to re-install, and that did not work.

Miss Parker responded: No, it does not. It does this:

No. I cannot find anything that says "relink."

Browse to the new location of SUNP0236.AVI and that should relink it.
