mv /home/bobg/Public/nfs4exports / will put it back. mv will "move" the directory and all subdirectories. Usually to fix something like this (down too many levels) assuming you want that, then go into the directory were the data now is and do mv * ../ and that will relocate it up one directory, that will happen fast as long as . and ../ are on the same mount point, in the same mount point case it will just move the pointers to the data.
