Not just Google (I will never be using), but any System Service I don’t want on my system that I will not be using?
Thanks!..
You may start with a real description (terminal output or screenshots) of the issue. There is no Google Groupware in openSUSE by default. How did you add it?
System services can be removed by uninstalling the package which brought it in.
As you mention Leap also, I just looked with YaST > System > System Services and can not find anything with the word Google in it. Thus
- either you and I differ on calling things a system service;
- or you have installed something beyond the installation defaults that contains this service.
In case #1, please explain better, best with some computer evidence, what you mean.
In case #2 you should remember or look in your notes on what you installed extra. and of course then de-install it.
In general, do not use what you do not need and don’t bother about the little bit of disk space it takes.
Afternoon, I do not know how it was added. I notice it there when looking over [Applications] and scrolled down to [System Services].
No issues, I just want to remove it.
UPDATE:
I don’t know how these got install or if there related?
I have not checked Leap, just wanted to know how to remove it, and if it so happens to be here, then I can remove it.
Still not clear which service you mean. You can list all existing services with
systemctl list-unit-files --type=service
Point out which service you want to remove/disable…
Again, that is very vague. What is “Looking at [Applications}”?
we can not look over your shoulder and thus can not know what you do.
There are now two people that ask for computer commands with output that show it.
Maybe a good start is
systemctl list-unit-files | grep oogle
Its not running as a Service, I want to remove its listing from [Application Settings / System Services].
System Settings / Notifications / Application Settings | System Services
Your posts getting more and more confusing…
KDE Plasma brings notifications for standard applications by default. Many of these notifications cannot be removed without uninstalling KDE Plasma. But they can be simply disabled (in the menu you mentioned).
As you mentioned google Groupware, please show a screenshot of this entry you want to remove so we might get an understanding of your issue.
I personally have no idea where you see that and where I am supposed to look.
Is it something in a desktop? You did not even tell you use a desktop, let alone which one. I appreciate you assume we are mind readers, but alas we are not.
It seems like the OP wants to uninstall any Google-related packages. You can remove anything you don’t want installed by typing “zypper rm PACKAGENAME” or by highlighting the name of the package in YAST Software and hitting “-” (minus sign). It will show a warning message if that would involve breaking/uninstalling something else. Up to you if you then want to keep or uninstall it.

Yes I want that, but I hope doing so removes it as well from the Notification list.
UPDATE:
Removing the list from YasT will cause to much problems. Looks like will have to deal with some Google on the system. I don’t understand why the dependence of anything Google should be on any system! It should be a module that you can add/remove at anytime.

The Google Groupware notifications are brought in by the KDE PIM suite. If you uninstall the “Extensions for accessing Google data” you will uninstall Kmail and all other Plasma communication tools…
KDE Plasma gives you the possibility to connect your Google account with the PIM suite. The integration is tight. By removing the integration you will uninstall big parts of the PIM suite. Simply don’t connect your Google account and there are abolutely no issues. There are no Google parts on your system if you don’t connect to a Google account…

Yea, I just notice that… 
Assuming that this is on a KDE/Plasma desktop (you never said or confirmed that) and that you then used System Settings > Notifications. What you see there is only the possibility to configure Google related notifications, but that only has any use when you have related products installed and running. Which I assume you haven’t.So what to worry?
It is like a button at a signaled pedestrian crossing which you could press if you want to cross. But you do not want to cross. would you then remove the button? That is vandalism.
