Changed music library folder structure.
Moved:
D:\My Music\Album\Artist Name1\Album1
                                                    Album2
                    Album\Artist Name2\Album1
                                                    Album2

to

D:\My Music\Music\Artist Name1\Album1
                                                   Album2
                              Artist Name2\Album1
                                                   Album2

This broke links between "...ImagesByName\artists\Artist NameX" and the "D:\My Music\Music\Artist NameX\AlbumX". "...ImagesByName\artists\Artist NameX" links to "D:\My Music\Album\Artist NameX\AlbumX", which no longer exists.
How can I rebuild the database(s) to fix this situation?

you don't need to rebuild anything. any problems you're having will just come back. what exactly is the issue you're seeing?

Symptoms

 

1) MediaBrowser has become painfully slow (perhaps searching for nonexistent/moved metadata)
2) Many of my artist images ..\dashboard\musicartists.html are not displaying. When I edit them to add an image it creates the image in D:\My Music\Album\Artist Name1\Album1 (note: this is previous path which has been deleted)
3) When I moved my albums folder to a new location the references to ...\Album1\folder.jpg (artist image) where not change to new location. (see "Path:" in screen shots)

In the cases where MediaBrowser looks for the artist image in the ...\Album1 folder it cannot find it because it is looking in the prior (now deleted) location. (see "Path:" in screen shots)

The artist images DO display on
1. .../dashboard/musicalbumartists.html

The artist images DO NOT display on
1. .../dashboard/itembynamedetails.html
2. .../dashboard/musicartists.html

Never mind.

I thought I had tried everything.  I restarted the server and it resolved everything.

I apologize for wasting your time. My bad.

Great. I just wanted to say also that the server should recover just fine if you move your files around.

 

The first scan following the move may be slow as it rediscovers everything, but once you get through that it should return to normal.
