My grub has the following versions which I want to remove.

  • Ubuntu, with Linux 4.1.0-rc5-next-20150529
  • Ubuntu, with Linux 4.1.0-rc5-next-20150529.old
  • Ubuntu, with Linux 4.1.0-rc4-next-20150525
  • Ubuntu, with Linux 4.0.0-rc6-next-20150402+
  • Ubuntu, with Linux 4.0.0-rc6-next-20150402+.old

I tried the following methods to remove:

Using Synaptic tool and I have typed the following commands: 

uname -r    
dpkg --list | grep linux-image     
sudo apt-get purge linux-image-x.x.x.x-xyz  
sudo update-grub2

Both of the methods failed to remove the kernel versions.

If your kernel images and headers had been installed from deb packages, not from repositories, you can remove them by

sudo dpkg -r linux-image-x.x.x.x-xyz linux-headers-x.x.x.x-xyz

But using synaptic is much easier. you will see what are you doing in GUI.
