Hi
Apt package manager has a --purge flag for removing packages that will also delete any associated config files
Does zypper have a similar thing ?
No, RPM does not have similar step. When package is removed, its configuration files are either deleted or renamed (depending on individual file attributes). Renamed files fall outside of package management.

While Zypper doesn’t have a built-in option to remove user configuration files like apt purge, you can use the rpmconf tool to achieve a similar result.
