NAME

remove-old-kernels - remove old kernel and header packages from the system

SYNOPSIS

remove-old-kernels [--keep N] []

DESCRIPTION

This program will remove old kernel and header packages from the system, freeing disk space. It will never remove the currently running kernel. By default, it will keep at least the latest 2 kernels, but the user can override that value using the --keep parameter. Any additional parameters will be passed directly to apt-get(8).

Normally 'apt autoremove' will do that for you. This is provided if you need more control.

This program requires administrative access.

EXAMPLE

sudo remove-old-kernels --keep 3 -qy
