@algal If your system is able to remove packages (apt-get remove) do the
following:

1. List installed kernel headers packages:
dpkg --get-selections | grep -E '^linux-headers-[1-9].+[[:space:]]install$'

2. Remove the oldest ones (replace ...):
sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-...
or
sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-...

If the system is in a more serious state (too little free inodes or
inconsistent apt database), then move some oldest headers away manually,
repair the database, remove some packages as in the point 2 above etc...
I described my procedure in the comment here:
