Plex Media Server crash logs are filling up my hard drive

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

So every minute at least two or three crash logs are generated. This rapidly fills up my hard drive. I was wondering if anyone had dealt with this before.

Player Version#: 1.41.3.9314

Update: I exited Plex and these logs are still being generated.

And I found this on the Server Logs:

Can you provide info on where and what files are being created? Server log excerpts are hard to read on the forums. Lets first get some details on what is going on.
