Both "top level" Directories are not found in pg_database.oid, so they are leftovers from dropped databases. I deleted them, and then the tablespace could be dropped. Thanks a lot, Tom. As I said the leftovers are likely to be caused by hard kills and backend crashes, so I would not go into deeper analysis, but maybe the finding and possibly removing of such leftovers should be half-automated to assist server admins.
