Updating Ubuntu

[Robert Parker]

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
