BookMacster folder in 'Application Support' contains over 500mb of folders that contain what appear to be various BookMacster versions (and associated .zip versions).
Your
~/Application Support/ folder is for just what the name implies – application data, not for applications themselves. You should not have
any BookMacster.app application packages in there at all. You should have only one, the latest, located at
/Applications/BookMacster.app. I don't know how those would have collected there. When BookMacster's built-in updater updates itself, the old version goes into
~/Trash/.

While looking at my Dropbox folder where I keep my bookmarks, I found the following files (in addition to the '…~~~.bkmslf backups).
Bookmarkshelf (Spaceman's Laptops conflicted copy 2011-06-20).bkmslf)
Bookmarkshelf (Spaceman's Laptops conflicted copy 2011-09-04).bkmslf)
Bookmarkshelf (Spaceman's-Mac-Proconflicted copy 2012-08-21).bkmslf)
Bookmarkshelf.unreadable.bkmslf
Bookmarkshelf-001.bkmslf
…can delete these 5 files?
Regarding the first four, yes, delete them. Same goes for any file with a ~ in the name. Regarding Bookmarkshelf-001.bkmslf, you should delete that if it is no longer in use. Assuming that you are using only one .bkmslf file, to find out where it is, open it, hold down the ⌘ key on your keyboard and click the title of the window.
The Help Book has sections which give more information on BookMacster's
document files.
Each document file has associated with it a triplet of
Settings.sql,
Exids.sql and
Diaries.sql. So if you have one document, you should have one of each. BookMacster should, after 60 days, delete any of those .sql files whose documents have been deleted.
Getting back to the first item, it would be interesting to know what is archiving old versions of BookMacster!
