This page explains how to remove old and un-necessary kernels as well as cleaning the /boot partition.
Contents
Know the current Kernel version
Get your current kernel version
uname -r
You should see something like:
3.13.0-32-generic
Installed kernels
List kernels that can be removed
The following command will return the list of packages that can be removed:
dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r|sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d'

List of all kernels (including current one)
Get a list of installed kernels
dpkg --list 'linux-image*'
You should see something like:
| / | Name | Version | Architecture | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| un | linux-image | <none> | <none> | (no description available) |
| un | linux-image-3.0 | <none> | <none> | (no description available) |
| rc | linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic | 3.13.0-24.47 | amd64 | Linux kernel image for version 3.13.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP |
| ii | linux-image-3.13.0-30-generic | 3.13.0-30.55 | amd64 | Linux kernel image for version 3.13.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP |
| ii | linux-image-3.13.0-32-generic | 3.13.0-32.57 | amd64 | Linux kernel image for version 3.13.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP |
| rc | linux-image-extra-3.13.0-24-generic | 3.13.0-24.47 | amd64 | Linux kernel extra modules for version 3.13.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP |

Delete kernels
Manual deletion
Delete the kernels you don't want/need anymore
apt-get remove --purge linux-headers-VERSION* linux-image-VERSION* linux-image-extra-VERSION*
apt-get autoremoveReplace VERSION with the version of the kernel you want to remove.
Example:
apt-get remove --purge linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-24-generic linux-image-3.13.0-30-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-30-generic
apt-get autoremove
Update kernels list
update-grub
