Changing paths of multiple games without losing the game's data

I have way too many arcade games that scrolling through them all the time is a pain. I want to move them all into alphabetized folders. What I'd like to do is find a text file and replace "retroarch/roms/arcade/a" with "retroarch/roms/arcade/A/a" if you know what I mean. Is this possible?

Alternative question: could I just delete my entire arcade folder from Launchbox, rescan the directory, but still keep all the game's data saved from before? I made a lot of edits in my games metadata and would like to keep all those alterations.

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the data file.
