I use Ubuntu-Tweak for this. Among a lot of very helpful functions, it has a foolproof kernel purge but it's best to keep at least one previous version, just in case..
Open terminal and do:


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak

Cheers!

Hi!

I use Tweak also, it's great.

Is there a reason to remove the old kernel?

If not, it would be a good idea to keep it for awhile to make sure the new kernel works properly.

Im removing for more space, to clean up a little (the pc have also windows 7 so theres battle for space)
and also so the grub look alittle more clean.
im trying to delete the 2.35.22, 23 and 24 but nothing
i installed tweak and steal nothing...
get the same error,

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Help please!

Hi!

You can goto:

system..admin..synaptic.

Search for kernel.

Remove old kernels.

DO THIS WITH EXTREME CARE!!!

MAKE A BACKUP OF IMPORTANT FILES!!!

The space you regain from deleting old kernels is minimal. You should not focus on this.

Just run sudo apt-get clean and sudo apt-get autoclean, and after that you do not need to think more of saving space. There is not much waste in Ubuntu anyway.
