I didn't like how cluttered the menus were, so I deleted some of the
folders. I am now regretting this decision and wish to reverse it; but I
can't find any options like that in KMenuEdit or other places. How do I
do this?

It kinda depends exactly what you deleted.
I would try re-installing the affected packages.
Depending on your distro it might be easier to re-install either all
packages or all TDE packages.

You could try logging out, renaming
~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu
and then logging back in. TDE might rebuild it. I don't know.

It's one of my very few complaints about TDE. It seems to me that it must have
something to do with the lower panel. (Or, for me it's the lower panel; I
guess users can put it where they want, which sort of leads to the problems I
just mentioned.)
Whenever I unlock the lower panel, I tend to make whatever changes quickly,
then lock it again immediately. Otherwise, I accidentally hit the wrong
command (don't know what), or a click on something unintentionally (again,
don't know what I do here), and next thing I know, the lower panel and its
icons are all askew. The panel sometimes gets moved from the lower part of
the screen to one side or another, which is really bad, maybe sometimes on
top. And everything gets messed up, then I must spend some time putting
everything right again.
In order to make changes to the applications menu, you must unlock the lower
panel; thus, I imagine, it's related to that issue about locking/unlocking
the lower panel.
I assume that we mean the same thing: the start menu button, and the list of
applications that pops up when you click the start menu icon. If not, please
correct me, as that's a separate issue.
Anyway, at bottom, same problem, I think. I have whole categories (such as
Internet) that have disappeared from my start menu. I have tried to replace
them manually, tried to find some way to regenerate them, to restore them to
their original state, but no luck.

Someone else gave me the solution, so I thought that I would give it to you.
1. mv ~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu
applications-tdemenuedit.menu.bak
2. tdebuildsycoa --noincremental
This should fix this issue.

Untrue (and I just tested it by deleting a duplicate menu entry with
my panel still locked). You only have to unlock the panel if you're
changing the panel itself.

This looks like it might do the trick, from:

5.3.
After updating TDE, my TDE menu appears to be empty! How can I get my menu back?
User modifications to the TDE menu are stored in
$HOME/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu. Try moving this file out
of the way and then issuing the command tdebuildsycoca --noincremental. This
should restore you to the default system menus. If that is the case you'll
have to recreate your customized menu.
