Thanks for the advice. That was my backup method, but I wanted to avoid having to redo all my sharing/etc that were tied to the libraries themselves.
For anyone else finding this, I actually discovered an even faster way to do this for the entire library:
After moving your files out of your library, create a single, empty file (any file, I just happened to use the command touch .empty) in the folder. This tells Plex the folder is purposefully empty and allows the Plex Dance to work.
By creating something like a .empty file, you won’t impact any imports down the road if you forget to remove it.
