I think i have not understood your Q correctly. I understand that you have a
dual boot with Win 7 and Ubuntu 10.04. The Grub is installed by Ubuntu and
Win 7 is your First default boot option.

If this is what it is then, and you want to uninstall the old kernel, then
simply open synaptic and search for linux-image and linux-headers. You will
have both the installed versions show up, select the older one to be removed
completely, 2 or 3 files get removed and grub updates itself at the end.
Thats it. Should free up about 150-200Mb of space. I do not normally keep
old kernels and remove them after the new kernel has been booted from
atleast once.

Hope that helps and thats what you asked in the first place.
