Looking further I discovered a lot of caches full with older rpm's. Most of these made by zypper. I can of course remove these caches manual but thought that it should also be possible with the above editor. Searched for it without success. Did I overlook something? Should I look into zypper for a cleaning of the caches?
yes, 'man zypper' explains:
clean (cc) [options] [alias|name|#|URI] ... Clean the local caches for all known or specified repositories. By default, only caches of downloaded packages are cleaned.
-m, --metadata Clean repository metadata cache instead of package cache.
-M, --raw-metadata Clean repository raw metadata cache instead of package cache.
-a, --all Clean both repository metadata and package caches.
