I just noticed that my zypper cache in /var/cache/zypp/ is almost 45 GiB in size on one machine. Now I could clean this myself of course, but I wondered if there is no service that does this automatically.

AFAIK that should happen automatically after updating/dupping . But sudo zypper clean should do the job.
Like I said I can do it myself, but why is it not done automatically? It also seems like machines installed with the server role clean up the cache, while ones installed with a desktop environment don't. The servers each have a few dozen megabytes, and the desktops a few gigabytes.
