One line to remove all unneeded old kernel for Ubuntu

Posted on December 5th, 2011 Sean Add comments

Along with the kernel keeps updating, many old kernels are kept in the system. For normal users, those old kernels are no longer needed, so the best way just remove them.
To remove all kernels, just run the single line with below:

Shell

dpkg -l linux-* | awk '/^ii/{ print $2}' | grep -v -e `uname -r | cut -f1,2 -d"-"` | grep -e [0-9] | grep -E "(image|headers)" | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge
