Sometimes PSPP uses temporary files for data if it judges it too large to keep all in memory. If PSPP crashes then it might not always be able to delete them.

I don't know the exact purpose of the dbus files but those are undoubtedly related to GTK+ and the GUI.

If PSPP is not actually running at the time, you can safely delete all of these.

    know< how to handle. I guess they are superfluous, but why are
    they there ?:

    folders pspp5eNA3q psppQaCnPe

    and files starting with gdbus-nonce-file-
