Moving folders back and forth to Unified Folder causing issues

I thought I could continue to "unify" multiple email folders by dragging folders from one inbox to the unified area on top. My goal was to have one set of working folders at the top that I could organize emails.

Seems that managing folders in the Unified "all mail" area is not a good idea and I was seeing strange dupliate emails so I decided to move them back. After my first batch of folders were moved, I proceeded to start moving them back down to the original inbox.

They are hanging at the moment, in process of moving but I'm seeing all sorts of odd behavior especially in the original gmail account. See visuals.

The original Gmail account is also a combined inbox using the same emails. I think this must be a big mistake and could cause weird duplication as well.

Big, big tangled up mess. I feel like I want to start over completely - yikes!

Advice on how to best get out of this mess?

Dragging into the unified folders technically shouldn't be possible / allowed. Have you resolved your issue?
