You could try this:
1) create a new database named for the intended purpose (personal, professional, a particular client, a particular time of year, etc).
2) go to your main database, select the projects you want to move over, and copy them to the clipboard (^C or ⌘C)
3) go to the new database and paste the projects over (^V or ⌘V).
4) disconnect the old database.
I sympathize: sometimes it takes months or years of experience to come up with a methodology that can help organize the projects as efficiently and logically as possible. We find it helps doing it by USER (colorist's name), and sometimes by CLIENT AND YEAR (like "2023_Big_Commericial_Co", "2023_Network_Series_S1", etc.). The key is to make it easy to understand for anybody walking up to the system, like an assistant or a new freelance person or a regular staffer.
Whatever you do, don't move or rename the database folders in your system -- only do renaming & moving within the Project Manager itself.
