Too many snapshots in Grub/Boot Manager...how do you limit them?

English Install/Boot/Login

As per subject.
I see like 15 snapshots in the boot menu on top of the multiple bootable tumbleweed version.
The boot partition has already only 1.7Gig free out of 4Gig.
Is there a way to stop it from saving that many snapshots ?
Surely 3~5 would be more then enough.

Search in menu for ā€œYaST Filesystem Snapshotsā€.
Their you can delete (not sure if it is safe).
Unfortunately no setting like maximum snapshots (that delete the oldest before writing new one)

This link was a life saver.
It works out that snapperā€™s snapshot actually use far less disk space then I thought.
On a change you get two snapshots, one ā€˜preā€™ and one ā€˜postā€™.
Despite having this many snapshots, their total true size is only 534Mb.
The default setting is fine as it is. No point touching it.
Thanks everybody for your help. This is solved.
