It happens that as our system is updated, new Linux kernels are installed. The previous stay in the system if we need to use them. This is clearly seen at boot selection screen in the operating system's grub.
Besides overloading the grub menu kernel that we will not use, they occupy a not inconsiderable amount on your hard drive.
Removing them is easy enough using a terminal. We opened one by pressing CTRL + ATL + T or from Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal.
If our system is not installed install it with aptitude
sudo apt-get install aptitude
Once installed aptitude we will find him to serve as nuclei installed using the following command:
aptitude search ~ilinux-image-2
It will display a list of installed kernels. Of these one is that we are using and we should not delete it. It will surely be the most recent, as indicated by its version number. The latest is the one with higher version number. To ensure we can use the following command which indicates the kernel.
uname -r
Once we know what NOT to delete can start deleting the oldest. The command to do is:
sudo aptitude purge nombre_del_kernel
Where nombre_del_kernel by the corresponding change to the kernel you want to delete. After a few seconds the kernel will be deleted.
