Running short of disk space in main partition.
Used kdirstat to see where things were. 83% of the used disk space in in /usr and most of that in either the files in /usr/lib64 or in the subdirectory /usr/lib/ooo3.
I haven’t used linux in a while - what is ooo3?
Obviously I don’t want to simply remove files from /usr/lib64 (most of them are binary libraries) - rather I should maybe uninstall packages. But how might I figure out what packages I can do without?

With YaST => Software => Software Management, you can see what packages
are installed, and make decisions on what to remove.
The places that will have files that can be removed are /tmp and
/var/log and subdirectories.
