CC Showing up in Game but not in mods folder

Hello! I finally decided to go through my mods folder because my game was not working. I removed my mods folder, opened the game so that a new mods folder would load, and then moved items from my old mods folder to the new one. I have my mods organized by category. As I checked these folders, I realized they were empty. I immediately panicked, assuming that my cc had gotten deleted along the way. However, when I load into my game, all of my CC is there, and it appears that I can play normally without issues. To put it simply, my CC is showing up in my game, but I am unable to locate it in my mods folder. They are all showing up as empty. I even downloaded the tray importer, and I can use that to locate my files, but it shows up unclickable. Does anyone have any clue what I can do to fix this?
