Need to run to remove unused old versions of kernels and other packages? Run: sudo apt autoremove --purge
That should fix that for you automagically. If you want to prevent the problem happening in the future without remembering the command, you can configure it by following this guide: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/05/remove-old-kernels-ubuntu-1 6-04/ I just run the "autoremove" command whenever I remember, one a year maybe.
