cd /boot
ls
You'll get something that looks like this:
abi-3.13.0-32-generic lost+found
abi-3.13.0-39-generic memtest86+.bin
abi-3.13.0-40-generic memtest86+.elf
config-3.13.0-32-generic memtest86+_multiboot.bin
config-3.13.0-39-generic System.map-3.13.0-32-generic
config-3.13.0-40-generic System.map-3.13.0-39-generic
grub System.map-3.13.0-40-generic
initrd.img-3.13.0-32-generic vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic
initrd.img-3.13.0-39-generic vmlinuz-3.13.0-39-generic
initrd.img-3.13.0-40-generic vmlinuz-3.13.0-40-generic
In my example the oldest kernel is:
abi-3.13.0-32-generic
config-3.13.0-32-generic
initrd.img-3.13.0-32-generic
vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic
So then:
sudo rm *3.13.0-32*
I'd suggest you remove all but the newest 2 kernels.
Once done, finish by:
sudo update grub

No Hortense! Seaweed does not taste fishy. Fish taste seaweedy.
