These step*.pdb are written when there is an instability in the system (i.e., on the verge of a crash). You can usually map them to instances in the .log file of LINCS warnings or "water molecule could not be settled" reports.

Hi,

I am taking a look at reducing the size of my analysis. I've decreased
log writing intervals. I notice mdruns generate these pdb files. Is
there any way of reducing the frequency these files are written? I
think that will go a long way to making my analysis easier.
