Use System | Administration | Synaptic Package Manager and do a quick search for: linux-image. You should find quite a few green boxes (installed). Check for removal on the older ones you don't want, but leave at least the last two recent ones as a backup kernel is always a good idea. Then click on the green apply button to remove the ones you've chosen.

This is the safest way as you don't want to mess up configurations particularly as your computer boots up. Let Synaptic Package Manager figure those issues out for you.
