Not much. You can keep them all if you wish. However, a typical kernel
image file is about 100MB & associated linux-headers files are about
10-80MB. Plus, unless you know your way around grub2 and know how to
show only a few kernels, your grub menu gets pretty long.

I generally keep at least the previous working kernel just in case I
need a fallback. On Occassion I may keep more if troubleshooting
hardware that works in one kernel but not on the newer one(s). In the
end the decision is entirely up to you.
