What you need is a way to scan your uploads directory and register any unregistered files. There are plugins that can help with this. One such plugin is “Add From Server“. This allows you to import media and files into the WordPress uploads manager from the server’s file system. Using this plugin, you can import those files from your disk into the WordPress database, which should make them appear in the Media Library.
