Can the folder ~mssetup.t be safely deleted?

Definitely yes (if you are not setting up MS office apps just now :)

On my computer they are created with MS office setup and it
forgets to get rid of them...

They certainly look like temporary locations created by a Setup program. They
can probably be safely removed, but, if you wish to be cautious, just move
them to another location. If no application complains about not finding them,
you can safely nix them.

Yes the file can be safely be deleted. ie. the whole directory can be
dleted. These directories are used by the installation programs to put
their temporary files in.
To be save after installing any programs restart Windows 95 and some
installation programs do delete this tempoaray dirs themselves. Some
will not. Therefore u can savely delete these dir ureself.

They're the droppings of the ... um, "less than elegant" setup programs
packaged with some products. PLUS! is one of the offenders.
Unless you've got some strange program that happened to choose the
same name for its directory, the entries are just taking up space
on your disk and can be deleted without any problems. The setup
programs will recreate them (and forget to delete them!) the next
time they are run.
