I don't know why that particular app has created those particular 
folders, but I do know that AppCleaner always leaves files in 
/var/folders unchecked by default, as they are per-user temporary files 
that will be cleaned up by the Mac's periodic maintenance scripts anyway.

So if you're concerned about them, delete them now (or reboot, which I 
think will also trigger their deletion). Otherwise, it should be 
perfectly safe to leave them.
