Orome found the Elves thirty five years of the Trees after they awoke, which equates to around about 335 years of the Sun. Assuming Melkor found them 100 sun years or so after they awoke, this surely was enough time to wipe them out, especially with the sparse populations, as originally 144 Elves awoke. I think that he wanted to rule over them, which was one of his desires when he entered into Ea.
