how to change query directory after move source file?

I import data from File A to power BI and then made a report. 

Later on when I was organizing my files, I moved data from A to B. Now comes the question, when I opend up my report and try to edit query, it says'' DataSource.Error: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\.......\...\...\gen_edi_stats_dem.csv'. '' 

How can I update this directory so I don't have to load the data again?

 

Thanks!

You should be able to go into the Query Editor and click the gear icon next to Source and do this. Failing that, you can go to View | Advanced Editor and edit the string there.
