Each time the core component of ubuntu (the linux kernel) is updated, a new entry is added -- it takes little more space, but it does create a separate menu item.

See the section entitled "How to Remove unwanted Kernels from your system"
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel

In the Grub menu, you have for each kernel two lines:

- first one for normal boot

- second for recovery boot (usefull to manage issues like graphic driver)

Each time update-manager install a new kernel, it keeps the previous kernel.

Sometimes a new kernel doesn't support your hardware, and to be able to boot and fix issue, you need to use previous kernel. Unfortunately, it means that after some times you get lot of kernels in menu.

The best solution is to uninstall via packet management the previous kernels.

The solution is provided in:
