I have seen this command suggested as a way to get rid of all old kernels

sudo apt-get remove --purge $(dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed
'/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]*
[^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d')

but have never had the courage to try it.  This answer on askubuntu
[1] suggests some other ways to clean them up.
