The commands would be

sudo update-initramfs -c -k $(uname -r)
sudo update-grub

But you still have all the old kernels registered in your package 
database when you removed the kernels from /boot. You could list the old 
kernels (and headers) with the command

dpkg --get-selections|grep -e linux-image -e linux-headers

and then copy / paste the names of the old packages to the command

sudo apt-get purge LIST_OF_KERNELS_AND_HEADERS

That command will also remove all the obsolete files in /lib/modules 
which you didn't remove and it will update the package database.
