The thing is that I did not remove the kernels myself (at least not manually).
I would suppose this is "zypper purge-kernels" taking care of it, with the
default configuration of openSUSE (and SLES) to just keep the running kernel

P.S: Just before these commands, I had removed snapshot 706, which looked like
this:

(I'm not using nvidia drivers any more but nouveau).
