How do I delete this? I have tried this zypper removerepo
Root privileges are required for modifying system repositories.
rosswmcgee@linux-6y9y:~>
Stumped?
try in YaST? Do you get the same error? if so, then delete the repo file from /etc/zypp/repos.d
Also, you need to be root on console to modify/delete/add repos 
I cannot get to software repositories or soft ware mangement, because of this error.
then delete the repo file in /etc/zypp/repos.d and try again? it even shows you which file, pay attention!
/etc/zypp/repos.d/Index_of__update_11.1
rosswmcgee@linux-6y9y:~> removerepos /etc/zypp/repos.d/Index_of_update_11.1

rosswmcgee@linux-6y9y:~> /etc/zypp/repos.d
bash: /etc/zypp/repos.d: is a directory
rosswmcgee@linux-6y9y:~> dir
What can I say please advise and thanks in advance.
first, list the available repo files in the zypp directory
ls /etc/zypp/repos.d
login as root on console by typing su and providing the root password, then delete the repo that’s giving problems with
rm -f /etc/zypp/repos.d/Index_of__update_11.1
rm -f /etc/zypp/repos.d/Repository_Management_-_openSUSE_Forums.repo

just a stab in the dark do this
rm -f /etc/zypp/repos.d/Index_of__update_11.1??Repository_Management_-_openSUSE_Forums.repo
pp/repos.d/Index_of__update_11.1??Repository_Management_-_openSUSE_Forums.repo

Any other ideas are worth a try and thanks.
Open a terminal and switch to su. Copy and paste this in
rm /etc/zypp/repos.d/Index_of_update_11.1
at the request that follows type: y
hit enter
rosswmcgee@linux-6y9y:~> su

So then I checked Yast Software Repositories and the offending file is gone. So which command did it? Here is what I look like now. Before I again try to find out why applets are not working I want to make sure all is in order.

heavens knows what is going on?
You need to change the repo’s in Yast - Software - Repositories

Change as shown in RED
But you still don’t have an update repo, you can’t run your OS without it. Whilst you are in managing the above changes, add in the update repo. Copy and paste this: Index of /update/11.1
here is a page on adding repos
Repository Management - openSUSE Forums
The software repositories are not shown that way in Yast. So I do not know how to do the suggested changes, using Yast.
What do you mean they are not shown that way? Do you mean the way I have changed it in RED?
You have to change it - I gave you a link to help you understand that. Can’t you understand it?
If not it may be possible I can walk you through a series of terminal commands.
What I mean is the Yast format in gnome shows only the five lines of repositories but there is no yes or no just the description of the repositories. I would be happy to do the terminal way if you want. But if there is a way to use Yast and accomplish it I need to learn it. Plus I see no way to past anything.
see this image ImageBam - Fast, Free Image Hosting and Photo Sharing
can you see the lower part there a two check boxes ‘enabled’ and ‘auto refresh’ and also a number selector called ‘priority’
surely gnome has this?
I’ll be back after my evening meal, so don’t panic, I’m logging off.
Yes it is there the enabled box is unchecked, auto refresh is checked, priority says 99
I did get the index update, so this is what I look like now!
