Merging "Data" folders into "Favorites"?

I've always kept my data separate in a "Data" folder on D:.

Right now, within "Data" I've got my Windows "Favorites" folder -
the one that renders with a five-pointed star.

It's finally dawned on me that, to me, "Favorites" are really
"Data" - and all the subdirectories in "Favorites" really belong
in "Data".

E.g. Right now in "Data", I've got a directory called
"Generators" that contains a couple of .PDFs about home-use
generators. But I've also got a "Data\Favorites\Generators"
folder that contains links to various web pages concerning
home-use generators.


Clearly (to me, at least) the two folders sb one.


My instinct is to simply make "Favorites" my data directory, move
all the former "Data" folders into it - combining the contents of
like-named folders - and then move "Favorites" up the root of D:
and delete the now-empty "Data" directory.... and, from now on,
regard "Favorites" as the place where I keep all my "data".


Sounds simple to me, but I've got this little yellow sticky on my
terminal at work that says:

----------------------------------
"The important things are simple.
The simple things are hard.
The easy path is mined."
----------------------------------

So: any gotchas laying (lying?) in wait for me if/when I do the
aforementioned?
