IT's very easy, just start Synaptic, search for "linux",
select/highlight all the unused kernels and headers, right-click on
them and select "Mark for COMPLETE removal", then click apply.
That will take care of everything (removing all the files, and also the
corresponding packages from the cache, and will update the GRUB menu).

It's really easy. The only thing you have to be careful, is not to
remove the RUNNING kernel by mistake ! ;-)
