What kernels are in your grub.cfg / boot menu. If they're not in there, |
| 16 |
just delete them from /boot. |

It's normal to have your latest kernel in the boot menu, and one backup |
| 19 |
kernel. |

|
| 21 |
So, for every kernel NOT in your boot list, cd into /boot and, as root, |
| 22 |
do "rm -i *x.y.z*" where x.y.z is the kernel version you want to get rid |
| 23 |
of. It'll query what files it's going to delete, but so long as it looks |
| 24 |
sensible, say "y" and get rid of it. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
It looks like you've got seven kernels there, so five sevenths space |
| 27 |
freed up is quite a lot ... |
