My Lightroom Classic has been giving me problems for a few days now. It does not respond to the 'create collection' command. I have to close the program and reopen it to let me do it.
I have 6481 photos in these collections. Is this too many? Should I start deleting folders?

Done. I don't have time to test it now. I hope this works. Thank you very much.

No, that is unlikely to be the problem. Start by resetting the preferences: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/

Good afternoon. I finally tested today if the reset had worked and unfortunately I have to say that it did not. The problem persists. I cannot 'create a collection', in the 'Collections' option in the vertical menu on the left of the desktop.

By the way, English is not my native language, but I know I'm not barking. I am speaking to you with courtesy and kindness. Something you have stopped doing with me.

English is not my native language either, so maybe that word was ill chosen. My point is that you seemed to be more interested in expressing your disappointment with Adobe ("Isn't it assumed that if I am paying for Lightroom it should work correctly and if it doesn't, the system should fix my problems. If my catalog is corrupted as you say, although I don't know why, shouldn't there be a protocol to fix it?"), than in solving your problem. That is your choice, but that means my contribution to this discussion has to end, because I don't work for Adobe so I can't help you there.
