About this part. When you did install with zypper, you can remove with zypper. But when there was an error while installing, it will not be installed at all.
You only say where you downloaded something (what?) from, but not how you installed, thus it is difficult to provide a more detailed answer.
And when you want any help with interpreting of “an error message…something related to MD5”, you better post here what you did and got. Most people here have no crystal globes.
First, verify you didn’t install R Studio (you likely didn’t).
Don’t know how far you got, I see that the download file is a tar, I haven’t opened it up to know what is in there, is it an RPM?
Then you can probably throw that away.
And install from the openSUSE repos…
Looks like the LEAP 42.3 R Studio package is an older version, the LEAP 15 package is the current version, same as if you installed the package you downloaded from the R Studio website, and the Tumbleweed version looks like it might be a future developmental version.
I’d generally recommend you upgrade to LEAP 15 anyway before installing R Studio, you’ll want your system to be supported as long as possible, and LEAP 42.3 is near end of life. You can easily upgrade your system by downloading and running a LEAP 15 DVD or do an online upgrade (don’t be afraid to post a question if you do this and have a question and can’t find another post about that questions)
When you say “I could not run it afterwards”, that is not a clear precise way of reporting. Show (with copy/paste between CODE tags) how you started it and what it said.
BTW, om showing your repo list, you forgot to use the -d option to show the URLs of the repos. Now we have only the names and aliases that are internal to your system. While they suggest what the repos most probably are, they are NOT the pointers to the real repos.
zypper lr -d
And I guess that software for 13.1 may indeed have problems in running on 42.3.
And yes, you have installed it using zypper or YaST, thus you cam remove it with both. I do not know if it installed other packages as dependancies, but when you took note of that, you can remove them also.
When you install an RPM file not from a repository, the signing error is natural… after all, there is no way to test the integrity and authenticity if the file doesn’t come from a known, trusted source.
As Henk says, you can remove the R Studio you installed using zypper or YaST, and I’d recommend doing so instead of trying to troubleshoot what is installed… Then install from the openSUSE repos as I described in my previous post.
Yes, that’ll uninstall rstudio.
Dependencies are generally left on the system because the Package Manager doesn’t go through every package installed on your system checking to see if the dependency is required elsewhere. If a new, updated version of a dependency is installed, the Package Manager will either install automatically or notify you, asking for you to decide to keep old or replace with new.
I tried 1 click-install, and it redirected me to some metadata?

So I click on the “Download”, and install the 64-bit version (rather than source).
In Yast, I received the following:
#### YaST2 conflicts list - generated 2019-04-03 20:08:44 ####
nothing provides R-rsconnect needed by rstudio-1.1.423-lp150.1.33.x86_64

] break rstudio-1.1.423-lp150.1.33.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies
#### YaST2 conflicts list END ###
Regarding your one-click install issue, that’s the .ymp file you’d download if you aren’t using Firefox from openSUSE, don’t use any other web browser and you would instead be able to launch the YaST Software Installer without having to read that file.
As for your missing file, you can find it on this page
Despite the fact you seem to be attempting to install “RStudio” by not using the openSUSE repositories, if you were to attempt to install this application by means of an openSUSE RPM package, which openSUSE repository would you attempt to use?
Please let us know, if the RStudio packages in these repositories resolve the MD5 issue – you’ll have to import the certificates from the openSUSE repositories by refreshing the Repository settings in YaST Software …

I am a novice at opensuse and linux for that matter…just spending time every now and then to get the hang of it…Sorry…I don’t know enough to answer your question…is there some material I can read up on to help answer?
You can select either or both (probably recommended by default), if available in more than one repo, your Software installer will install the most recent version.
At the time I did a test install, there were no issues.
If you’re seeing errors, you have to provide exact details about what action you did immediately before you saw an error and the error itself verbatim.
If by some dark magic your browser can’t download “1-click-installation” files but instead shows the XML-content inside them, then you can for example open YAST or use
From the openSUSE Download site <https://software.opensuse.org/>, simply search for the package “rstudio” and then click “Show rstudio for other distributions” to get to the Leap 42.3 and Leap 15.0 repositories.
