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)
