Hi, thanks for the response. I did a little more searching just after I made the post and think I'm in a good place now.
You're right, there were more of the chunk files (1461 written to the root!) and removing them appears to have solved my problem.
After doing that, I think I'm ok with root looking like:
root@TXHReadyNAS:~# cd /
root@TXHReadyNAS:/# ls -1
1
apps
bin
boot
data
dev
etc
frontview

I'm really not sure what could have caused Plex to behave this way initially, perhaps I did something wrong when installing/updating it some time. Any way, I have removed and reinstalled Plex using the GUI. No signs yet that it is writing unwanted stuff to the root again, but I will have to keep an eye on it I guess.

You should probably remove these two also, as they were also left there by plex.
