For several of my computers with Debian installed (I have rarely used
Ubuntu recently, but I think it is similar), after running apt
autoremove, only two versions of the kernel will remain.
At this time, use the above command to query, there should be only three
lines starting with ii (in addition to the two versions of the kernel
package, there is also a meta-package).

Back to your question, if you confirm that these kernels are useless,
you should be able to use apt purge to completely remove them, just use
my command above to find the names of these kernels.

**Be careful not to remove the kernel you are using (use uname -r to view
the kernel version currently in use).**
