run following command terminal:

code:

uname -r

this list kernel in use.

code:

dpkg -l linux-* | awk '/^ii/{ print $2}' | grep -v -e `uname -r | cut  -f1,2 -d"-"` | grep -e [0-9] | xargs sudo apt-get --dry-run remove

this should list kernels may having on ubuntu. remove unwanted kernels use command below.

code:

dpkg -l linux-* | awk '/^ii/{ print $2}' | grep -v -e `uname -r | cut -f1,2 -d"-"` | grep -e [0-9] | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge
