Wise people would never use all 750 GB for a single OS if it does not 
need to contain as many data.

Actually if the OP followed the openSUSE installer defaults, the root 
filesystem is btrfs and can be shrinked while mounted.

os-prober just detects other OS'es, it does not change anything. You 
need to run update-grub (or update-grub2 as openSUSE may name it) to add 
boot menu entries for the discovered OS'es.
