How to clean up /boot?

[Peter]

My method is:

cd /boot

ls

You'll get something that looks like this:


abi-3.13.0-32-generic lost+found

abi-3.13.0-39-generic memtest86+.binabi-3.13.0-40-generic memtest86+.elf

config-3.13.0-32-generic memtest86+_multiboot.bin

config-3.13.0-39-generic System.map-3.13.0-32-generic

config-3.13.0-40-generic System.map-3.13.0-39-generic

grub System.map-3.13.0-40-generic

initrd.img-3.13.0-32-generic vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic

initrd.img-3.13.0-39-generic vmlinuz-3.13.0-39-generic

initrd.img-3.13.0-40-generic vmlinuz-3.13.0-40-generic


In my example the oldest kernel is:

abi-3.13.0-32-generic

config-3.13.0-32-generic

initrd.img-3.13.0-32-generic

vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic


So then:

sudo rm *3.13.0-32*


I'd suggest you remove all but the newest 2 kernels.

Once done, finish by:

sudo update grub
