The crash log is not in the game directory but in the application directory and is named factorio-current.log.
On windows: %appdata%\Factorio
(usually C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Factorio)
quick links: log file | graphical issues | wiki

This directory only contains another folder named "saves"
