After an update of my Ubuntu I came to the error, "I cannot update since /boot is full".
The thing is, that when I compared the results of the two following commands
$dpkg --list 'linux-image*', $uname -r I noticed that I use an older kernel. In my case the second command gave 3.13.0-24-generic and the first gave many newer version kernels e.g. linux-image-3.13.0-46-generic. The question is 1.why Grub does not update to a new kernel version? 2.I am not sure which kernel versions to delete in order to free some space in /boot. The question here My /boot partition hit 100% and now I can't upgrade. Can't remove old kernels to make room answers how to free some space but not why my Grub does not use the newer kernel vesrions.

You may want to try following the readme at: https://github.com/erichs/bootnukem
git clone https://github.com/erichs/bootnukem.git
cd bootnukem
sudo ./install.sh
Then
./bootnukem --dry-run
