Ideally you should not do that, unless you built your own kernel
manually (and manually installed it).

If it is a kernel package, all you need to do is 'apt-get purge' it.
This will take care of cleaning the /boot and running 'update-grub'.

Beware of removing a currently-running kernel. It is really a bad idea.
