RPM packages are automatically deleted by YaST…unless you manually
changed that from the default…
what do you mean “back up repository list from YaST2”? do you just
want a list of the repos you have enabled? then do
zypper lr -d > ~/Desktop/backupOfRepoLists.txt
and that list will magically appear on your desktop

Hi
Have a look at rpmorphan from the Contrib repositories, then
you need to review the list to make sure you could remove
them.
/etc/zypp contains the repository info, but why bother, an install
creates the required ones for a fresh system. I just make a list and
run zypper ar to add the common ones I use.
If your trying to customize your install then use SuSE Studio to build
up your system. Every repository on the build service is available to
pull in packages as well as the ability to add your own rpms (either
via upload or url link).
