Removing unneeded dependencies

$

Hello all, I'm using OpenSUSE 13.1. When I install a package, some other packages (dependencies) are installed together. BUT I noticed that if I remove this same package, sometimes a few packages are removed, that is, some unneeded dependencies are left behind. An hypothetical example to make it clearer: if I install a package X using zypper, it says I'll have to install 10 packages in order to perform this action. I accept and it installs 10 packages. But then I ask zypper to remove package X, it says I'll have to uninstall 8 (or less) packages. This makes me conclude that I might have unneeded dependencies wasting resources in my system. How do I identify these unneeded packages to get rid of them?


TL;DR: I need a zypper command equivalent to apt-get autoremove
