The information on specific items in your inventory (as well as items in your Armory Chest, Armoire, Chocobo Saddlebag, and your retainers’ inventories) are stored server-side, not client-side. The only things stored client-side are things like gearset lists, HUD layout, hotbar layouts, inventory layout (i.e., if you have it organized a particular way), graphics settings, and other settings such as those you find in Character Configuration/System configuration. More than likely, something got corrupted when you started moving the FFXIV files around. A clean install should fix your problem.
