A PC I have just upgraded still shows a lot of grub menu entries, however, only the latest two are shown as 'installed' when looking with synaptic
sudo update-grub produces:

How do I get rid of the obsolete ones, leaving the two latest relevant ones please?
Do I just find them and delete them.....?
