I’m moving my server to a different computer and noticed this folder that seems to store a bunch of previous versions of PMS, so I have a couple of questions:
Thanks!
yes you can delete them. I’m not sure why they are not being trashed after a successful update. I will make an issue ticket
Of note I too have this issue and the folder is quite large ~4GB. I have 36 folders of previous PMS versions.
I had the same problem and just trashed everything. You can do it.
I also have an update folder with 3GB of files in. So Plex is still not trashing these after successful update. I noticed it because my incremental backup system has about 100 copies of my appdata and that 3GB has 300GB of storage on my backup disk 
This appears to still be an issue. No errors in update-log.txt.

This is still an issue. What’s the progress on the issue ticket?
Just discovered this myself today and came here to confirm it. Slow and steady wins the race.
Those update packages are still collecting under PMS 1.9 on Windows 7. (Guess that means it’s not platform specific, huh?)
i bumped the internal ticket about it. sorry so no ETA
Any additional info on this yet?
Also has anyone experienced a successful update download within PMS but failure on installation of the update? This has been happening for the last 5 or 6 updates for me. Not sure if it’s related to the failure to remove the update DLs from the ~/Library/Applicator Support/Plex Media Server/Updates location.
Bump.
I just got rid of updates going back to Sept 2016.
Win 10 Pro
Issue still persisting. I just cleared the updates folder going back to mid 2016. Quite a large number of gigs just sitting there.
