To quote from their web site:-
* For Ubuntu 13.10 and before: old versions
Apparently restricted (as yet) to pre-14.04.

    All good advice here.
      You can remove the old kernels if it booted correctly and
      all your
      hardware works as expected with the current one, you get
      back ~50MB per
      kernel on Debian boxes.
  <snipped excellent advice from Simon and bad apple>
  I found this webpage:
  http://tuxtweaks.com/2010/10/__remove-old-kernels-in-ubuntu-__with-one-command/
  <http://tuxtweaks.com/2010/10/remove-old-kernels-in-ubuntu-with-one-command/>
  There's a great breakdown of the process he follows and eventually
  comes up with this single line:
  dpkg -l linux-* | awk '/^ii/{ print $2}' | grep -v -e `uname -r |
  cut -f1,2 -d"-"` | grep -e [0-9] | grep -E "(image|headers)" | xargs
  sudo apt-get -y purge
  I did the test line he suggested which looked OK and didn't include
  my current kernel, so I ran the live one above. Obviously I didn't
  kill anything as I am typing this email and I seem to have shed over
  3Gb as / is now 6.4 Gb not the 9.8Gb it reported previously. I
  think that's problem solved.
  BTW the reason I keep /home on a separate partition is that I want
  to keep all my customisations and user files (e.g. mail) if I have
  to reinstall for any reason. Reinstalling and simply pointing /home
  to the same partition without overwriting saves a lot of grief, even
  though I do back it all up weekly.
  Thanks for all the advice!
