My suggestion may do no better than Tim H's given the above. I've poked about a bit for help specific to Linux Mint... https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mintupdate.html#kernel-updates gives the command to identify the version of the running kernel, and says how kernel versions can be removed in the Update Manager. This is probably the easiest window-clicking thing to try first. https://www.morgandavis.net/content/uploads/2025/10/clean-up-old-linux-kernels.webp is an option apparently found in the Update Manager's Preferences to remove obsolete kernels each week, but it's turned off by default. Could be worth looking for this in your Mint version to turn it on. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/08/linux-mint-deletes-old-kernels-automatically has news of an Update Manager change for Mint to remove old kernels over time. But that probably hasn't reached you yet. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2026-09-01 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... https://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:[email protected]
