** /boot folder gets filled up as and when upgrades are done. How to free it up **

Lets check by auto remove

sudo apt autoremove If the above does not remove old ones lets first check the current kernel thats being used

uname -r

Lists the current used kernel version. Lets remove the earlier versions of the kernel upgrades

if the current version is 15.11.8.* all prior versions can be removed

sudo rm /boot/*-5.11.18-{10,9}-*

upgrade if any broken packages

sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo apt install -f

Once upgrade is successful, lets not forget to update grub

sudo update-grub

One last time lets update all once to be intact

sudo apt autoremove

sudo apt upgrade
