Interesting. Are you sure about this? The Wiki says it can be deleted and I did not see it coming back during my time with openSUSE. I can check it again later though.

Yes I'm sure, since I went through the same process of discovering it myself some months ago. I just tested it again to be sure.

It's also covered in https://forums.opensuse.org/t/zypper-uuid/135752
