How to clean cache using Zypper?

To clean the cache using Zypper, you can utilize the zypper clean command. This command is specifically designed to remove cached package data, which can help free up space on your system and ensure that you are working with the most up-to-date package information.

Here's how you can use it:

1. Open a terminal on your system.
2. Run the command sudo zypper clean.

This command will remove all cached packages and metadata. If you want to remove only the metadata, you can use sudo zypper clean -m. To remove only the cached packages, use sudo zypper clean -p.

For example, if you want to clear both packages and metadata, you would execute:

sudo zypper clean

If you're working in a cloud environment, such as using Tencent Cloud's services, keeping your system clean and efficient is crucial for optimal performance. Regularly cleaning the cache can help maintain the efficiency of your cloud instances.
