NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       purge-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).

       This program requires administrative access.

EXAMPLE

       sudo purge-old-kernels --keep 3 -qy

SEE ALSO

       apt-get(8)
