For the relevant kernels running: sudo apt purge linux-image-5.15.0-xx-generic linux-modules-5.15.0-xx- generic linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-xx-generic
Or using this utility: https://git.launchpad.net/linux-purge Then the leftover directories are correctly removed. But I don't think you should have to rely on manual commands or 3rd party utilities to clean out after old kernels. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2007286 Title: Ubuntu does not clean out old kernel module files (in /lib/modules) when old kernels are removed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: corrado@corrado-x-kinetic:~$ ls /lib/modules 5.19.0-23-generic 5.19.0-28-generic 5.19.0-29-generic 5.19.0-31-generic corrado@corrado-x-kinetic:~$ ls /boot config-5.19.0-29-generic memtest86+.elf config-5.19.0-31-generic memtest86+_multiboot.bin efi System.map-5.19.0-29-generic grub System.map-5.19.0-31-generic initrd.img vmlinuz initrd.img-5.19.0-29-generic vmlinuz-5.19.0-29-generic initrd.img-5.19.0-31-generic vmlinuz-5.19.0-31-generic initrd.img.old vmlinuz.old memtest86+.bin corrado@corrado-x-kinetic:~$ see also https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-does-not-clean-out-old-kernel-module-files-in-lib-modules-when-old-kernels-are-removed/33906 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.10 Package: apt 2.5.3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.19.0-31.32-generic 5.19.17 Uname: Linux 5.19.0-31-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.23.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Tue Feb 14 16:23:49 2023 InstallationDate: Installed on 2022-11-28 (77 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 22.10 "Kinetic Kudu" - Release amd64 (20221020) SourcePackage: apt UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2007286/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
