Found lost data, now how to rename folder to make it work

Hi all-y first project in Audacity and I really like it. Unfortunately, I did not realize it would create a data folder and at some point I renamed the project. I spent two hours working on it intensely and finished. Today, upon opening, it tells me all data is missing. (460 files).
There are 460 files in a folder, but the project and the folder are obviously disconnected.
Can you tell me how to reconnect the project with the correct data folder?
Thanks!
