If I had like 30,000+ folders within a folder, would that slow down a server?  I have a windows and a linux server which both have a folder that has tons of folders in it.

Yes those files are accessed daily, probably 100s of the files are accessed multiple times a day.

Can having to many files or folders within a folder slow down a server?

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
