I have tried sudo apt-get -f install but due to no empty space, I am not able to successfully run it and getting the following error
Unpacking linux-image-4.4.0-137-generic (4.4.0-137.163) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-4.4.0-

I also tried to remove it using dpkg with the following code
dpkg --list | grep linux-image | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -V | sed -n '/'`uname -r`'/q;p' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge
I got the following error for the above command.

I also tried with sudo rm -rf /boot/*-34.4.0-{112,116,119,121,124,127,128,21}-* but still no luck.
Does anyone knows how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance.
