[support] repairing a website

[James R Stone]

I have inherited a website that has third-party modules installed into the
modules folder at the root level with the core modules, not
sites/all/modules folder. Initially, I tried to  move the directories one at
at a time into the appropriate folder and the site broke. The core is 6.19.
Would it be best to upgrade the core first?
Should I disable the module, followed by downloading and installing the same
module in the correct folder and then re-enabling it?
Should I download and install all of the third party modules in the correct
folder first, delete the other inappropriately located folders, and then run
update first?
Do I need to recreate the entire site from scratch?
