Ok, update:
I deleted the album from MMW5 with the option to remove the files from the drive as well as the info from the database, and ensured that the tracks were gone from the library, playlist(s) and disk, then synced. Sync options are set to remove unselected library files.
The full album was still in MMA.
I deleted the album from MMA, and the misfiled files on the device, including their individual folders, were then removed.
I then re-added the tracks to MMW5 and then synced, and they're placed in the correct places. Here's where it goes sideways again:
In the process of this, I realized that the name of the band was incorrect on another album and fixed it in MMW5. On the desktop, the database and the files themselves on the drive were updated with the new name and path. Synced, and the files were NOT renamed or moved on the phone. Changing the sync to remove all other media files and syncing did not move the renamed items on the phone.
The tagging in MMA appears to be updating correctly, but not the file folder directory when retagging media changes the file path on the desktop or removing media from MMW.
