Deleting the old kernels lost on your hard drive
Conclusions
Automatic management of the kernel packages is typically fine for normal use, but automatic systems sometimes show some weaknesses. Manually installed kernel packages are usually not governed by the automatic mechanisms. If you manually install kernel packages on the disk, it makes sense to search the system for obsolete packages from time to time. If you need disk space in a hurry and can do without the previous kernel versions, removing large kernel packages will help in the short term.
