Ubuntu: Remove old kernel

Removing old kernel is part of system maintenance. Basically to clear up the boot space and tidy up the grub menu. Steps as below:

  • In terminal, type: uname -r. Take note of the kernel version
  • Go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
  • Search for linux-image
  • Select the older version kernel (which is not equal to first step above) with green box, right-click and select Mark for Removal
  • Click on Apply
