As people have poitned out, there is a lot of stuff that such a strategy would remove that you want kept.
A more sensible approach would be to use tools like
* Padraig Brady's 'fslint'
(Mind you, all that could be done with 'find', but that's another matter.)
FSLint will clean more crud out of your system than the minor dot-file detrius that LinuxIsOne talks of. BTDT.
But the package FSLint is not found in the Yast, even after I added the contrib repo.
The other problem is hanging dependencies. Yes, you removed a package, but you didn't remove the packages it depends on that nothing else depends on. You've left orphaned packages lying around!
There's an option for Zypper to do that :-)
Yes, it does, I guess the commands are:
zypper rm --clean-deps ...
zypper rm --clean-deps
RPM can also tell you the config files used by the installed packages. You can then figure out the detrius ones that belonged to removed packages.
But have you purged /tmp and your various caches?
Yes. We can also use BleachBit (I guess).
All that being said, I think these are not very good ways to waste your time; you would be better of play PySol or KMines.
