If you go to System→Administration→Synaptic you will find the kernels and their headers are installed as packages.
To make them easier to find inside Synaptic click on STATUS in the lower left then you can filter by INSTALLED packages above, type something like 2.6.31 in the quick search box and they will appear. There are 3 packages for each version number, Image, Headers, and Headers-generic. Click on the yellow boxes and choose Mark for Removal, then click Apply when you are done. No changes are made until you click apply so you can look around without breaking things. I would recommend keeping one extra version as backup so that you can select something else at boot if you current kernel ever stops working, ie if -19 is your main kernel then keep -17 around and remove the others.
