=== Remove Old Version ===
Old kernel images will tend to linger in <code>/boot</code> and source code will remain in <code>/user/src</code>.  These can be safely removed so long as you're completely certain which you are using (normally the latest)
# Get the versions currently installed
#* <code>dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image</code>
# Remove unwanted versions (don't remove the current or base/unversioned image)
#* EG <code>apt-get purge linux-image-3.2.0-32-virtual <code>
#* If you've got lots to remove its easier to do lots in one go
#** EG <code> apt-get purge linux-image-3.2.0-51-virtual linux-image-3.2.0-52-virtual </code>
To remove old source, just delete manually,
* EG <code> rm -fr /usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-51 </code>
