Thank you

Always check what new kernel working fine. Once I had a problem with new kernel drivers, and were forced to boot old kernel for few months, until they fixed it. – LeonidMew Feb 17 '18 at 04:03

@karel,I read this thread before,I made the question to understand which is the best solution.@N0rbert,I didn't read your answer before,now I read that you use purge-old-kernels.Therefore I have the same doubt. – ubu16 Feb 17 '18 at 14:40

sudo apt autoremove
The man (manual) page states autoremove
autoremove is used to remove packages that were automatically
installed to satisfy dependencies for other packages and are now no
longer needed.
which includes old kernels.
