You will have to get rid of them by hand using the package manager.
So lets say you have extra kernels from -6 through to -9. You could do this very easily on the command-line with one command, like this:
sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.24-[6-9]-generic

Substitute the range of kernel numbers as appropriate. You can also remove them one at a time if you really want to be sure of what you are doing.

Note that the latest kernel is linux-image-2.6.24-10-generic, thats if you have all updates applied. Do not remove this one.

Hope this helps.
