Remove Old Kernel versions, and update your grub Menu

If you want to clean up your system, and free some space on your system partiton, removing old unused kernel versions is a good start.
NOTE: Before starting any of this, make sure you have a solid back-up (There are several good GUI driven back-up systems for Linux available, although I still like to run my own scripts using rsync)

1. find out what the current kernel version is (open a Terminal screen): 

uname -r

2. Do a test run and see what will be removed. (nothing will actually be removed. it is so called a dry - run command)
