# Command line method: | |
# First check your kernel version, so you won't delete the in-use kernel image, running: | |
uname -r | |
# Now run this command for a list of installed kernels: | |
dpkg --list 'linux-image*' | grep ^ii | |
# and delete the kernels you don't want/need anymore by running this: | |
sudo apt-get remove linux-image-VERSION | |
# Replace VERSION with the version of the kernel you want to remove. | |
# When you're done removing the older kernels, you can run this to remove ever packages you won't need anymore: | |
sudo apt-get autoremove | |
# And finally you can run this to update grub kernel list: | |
sudo update-grub |
