[xubuntu-users] Old Images Linger in /boot

[Ince, Wilbur]

You can find and remove old kernels with Ubuntu Tweak.  Here is the
PPA for 14.04:
https://launchpad.net/~tualatrix/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Start the tool, and select Janitor option.  Select Old Kernel, and the
tool will find all old kernels.  Select the versions you want to
delete.

I delete all but the last kernel, to have one to roll back to.

There are other nice tools in there to clean other parts of your system too!
