If you don't have musicbrainz tags in your music tags, the statistics will be lost if you re-organize music folders. In this case, the statistics will be tied to the old file paths and still in the database, to get rid of it completely you need to use "Delete Unused Stats". It doesn't harm to keep unused statistics in the database, it just use some storage space and possibly slow down browsing a bit if you have a lot unused statistics since the database will be larger than necessary. If you have musicbrainz tags, you don't have to use "Delete Unused Stats" as the old statistics will be automatically move the the new file paths when TrackStat does a refresh. This typically happens after a rescan in LMS or at LMS startup unless you have disabled it in TrackStat settings page. There is a report in "Database Query" plugin that's called "TrackStat Inconsistency/Problems" which will show if you have any unused entries in the TrackStat database tables. Just be aware that in a large library it can take some time to execute this report, so don't execute it if you are about to play some music because LMS is going to hang while the report is generated.
