Dreamweaver has started showing all my Time Machine backups on the pulldown site menu

Starting several weeks ago, Dreamweaver (21.4) shows all my Mac Time Machine backups in the pulldown site menu.

I can't figure out how to make Dreamweaver ignore these files.

This is not about Time Machine. Dreamweaver is somehow adding Time Machine backups to the Dreamweaver pulldown site menu.

Try:

Exclude Time Machine Backups: Ensure that your Time Machine backups are excluded from being indexed by Dreamweaver. You can do this by going to the Time Machine preferences on your Mac and adding the backup drive to the list of excluded items.
Check Dreamweaver Settings: Sometimes, Dreamweaver might be indexing folders that it shouldn't. Check your site settings in Dreamweaver to ensure that the backup folders are not included in the site definition.
