I fouled up paths for OSCAR and SH to take and ask for guidance
The key question: Would I be successful if I simply populated a folder with selected profile folders and then directed OSCAR to that folder when installing OSCAR? A step farther: If dad, mom and grandma were all hoseheads who kept SH records on their three different laptops, could dad decide to monitor everyone's SA by simply copying and pasting in mom's and grandma's profiles from their machines into his own folder that holds all his profiles--assuming he has more than one for himself, say one for each year? Or are there distinguishing elements for each user/patient that become embedded in the base "boss" program (not embedded in only the profile) that pulls history in from any one of the resident profiles that is selected for review?
BACKGROUND WITH SOME REPETITION:
In the midst of sudden trouble with a sticking-and-then-jumping cursor (along with newly deranged key stroke responsiveness) I inadvertently copied my overpopulated Desktop and pasted it into an unrelated subfolder farther down in the same directory branch. Resisting doing an immediate delete, I put a test file into the parent (SH related) folder and into the misplaced folder; I found that deletion of the file down the folder-tree branch would also delete that same file in the original folder. I can't find a simple way to recover. (I see various tools for eliminating duplicates, but such as I have tried will delete the parent file if the child file is deleted.)
At first I was unaware of the blunder. But SleepyHead immediately greeted me as though I had just then installed it, presenting me with a EULA or something similar. It became "lost" due to my blunder that scramble paths. Thrashing around, I eventually uninstalled SleepyHead and Downloaded OSCAR (which I have been using on a different computer that was in the shop). That OSCAR dialog box with the one-time-one-step opportunity to bring SH history in showed the fouled up and duplicative path to Profiles and the first time around I thought "just go with it" for now. In later re-installs I answered "No", but made no headway on that route. As any expert here would likely know, these approaches did not work. There is more to the story, but this gives an idea how my pitfall hole began to be dug deeper yet and what kind of mess I have on this back up computer.
I would like to preserve the 5 USER/"patients" that I have been or am (the past 4 years), including where possible the oximeter graphics.
It would be helpful to know the connections between components and which ones are critical to preserve and be available for presentation. For example, I assume all files in a profile comprise, can I say?, an organic whole. You must, I assume keep, all those several files together as they were when that profile was last changed in some way--even though only the file for last night's data was updated today, for example. On the other hand, I'm not concerned about cosmetics like the order of the graphs and would prefer to dismiss/ignore such special files as I assume all that can be reset very easily.
Thank you for reading and any suggestions for this bungler. 2SB

I have no particular qualifications or expertise with respect to the apnea/cpap/sleep related content of my posts beyond my own user experiences and what I've learned from others on this site. Each of us bears the burden of evaluating the validity and applicability of what we read here before acting on it.
Of my 3 once-needed, helpful, and adjunctive devices I have listed, only the accelerometer remains operative (but now idle). My second CMS50I died, too, of old age and the so-so Dreem 2 needs head-positioning band repair--if, indeed, Dreem even supports use of it now.
