Thanks for your help in advance ;-)

its reasonably safe to delete everything in the tmp folder
but dont delete the tmp folder itself since it may cause permissions problems.
you'll find you wont be able to delete most of it
since it is in use by KDE/Gnome etc for sockets/locks
Suse will store temporary/partial/complete rpm files downloaded in the
/var/Yast2/cache/rpm? folder or similar
