Deleting Old Kernels
This is how I'm deleting old kernel nowadays.
The idea is to do it easily, but most important, safely.
First off, get the running kernel, never delete this one ;)
uname -a
And then get the list of all the installed kernels (and related stuff):
dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-headers && dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image
This is a sample list of the output of the above:
And then, simply delete the ones you don't like:
sudo apt-get purge linux-image-4.4.0-119-generic\
linux-headers-4.4.0-119-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-119-generic
sudo apt-get purge linux-image-4.4.0-119-generic\
linux-headers-4.4.0-119-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-119-generic
In this case, deleting the kernel 4.4.0-119 and all related files.
