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 is unless you told zypper not to.
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.
