Hi Clive,

You have probably got lots of versions of the package which provides the
kernel and its related files installed. Over time, a new version fixes
something, but some distributions leave the old one there so if there's
a problem with the new one then you can boot into an old one with GRUB.
This means they build up.

Yes, but don't do this manually. If the files are from installed
packages, uninstall the packages.
Paste us the output of this command.
dpkg-query -Wf '${package}\n' 'linux-image-*' | sort -V
