Reinstall self-hosted WordPress without losing my content

    I messed up my WordPress blog by messing with the Site URL.

    When I installed, I hadn’t realised it was set to install to justanothertechblog.liam-merlyn.co.uk/wp

    the /wp directory was something I didn’t want. So in a rush, I messed with the Site URL inside WP settings and removed the /wp. Now not much works since it’s looking at a location where there’s nothing there.
    Could I simply just move all the files to fix it or do I need to reinstall? And how do I do so without losing all of my blog’s content?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,
    This is the WordPress.COM support forum. You need to post to the WordPress.ORG support forum for help with your site because it is not hosted by WordPress.COM.

    WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and have different logins and also run some different versions of some themes with the same names http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
