CS6 file view scrolling is super slow

Dreamweaver CS6 on my 2017 Mac running Mojave: I have a folder with LOTS of files—all the ads I've run in my online news magazine since 2003! Just trying to scroll down to find things takes literally hours! I need to keep them where they are or the links on the website will break.

Is there a way to rebuild the directory or something, or delete and replace an app file, something that will get me back to work? I'm ready to scream.

Editing files works fine. Trying to edit the home page and put the new ads in is torture.

It seems like it's a display issue, but what do I know?

You have what I call a 10,000 lb gorilla. That's what happens when you maintain a static HTML site for more than a decade. Eventually the site gets too big to manage. Your site would be a whole lot easier and more efficient to maintain if it was dynamically driven from content stored in a server-side database. WordPress comes to mind as a possible replacement site. And with the right responsive Theme, you'd be improving usability for ALL devices and giving it a much needed face lift. Anyway, it's something to think about.
