I upgraded successfully. Now, when I run this:

dpkg --list | grep linux-image

I get this:

ii  linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic                               3.13.0-24.47                                                amd64        Linux kernel image for version 3.13.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP

ii  linux-image-extra-4.4.0-36-generic                          4.4.0-36.55                                                 amd64        Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.4.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP
ii  linux-image-generic                                         4.4.0.36.38                                                 amd64        Generic Linux kernel image

So my question is: What do I do with all the extra modules? Do I trash them? If so, how? or do I keep them?

if you want to remove them, then try running 

sudo apt-get autoremove

in the terminal

this can't be undone, so make sure that your system is running okay with your current kernel before attempting to do anything

what you will get from removing these older unused modules is some free MBs
