Seems you have a lot of kernels installed. You can list those packages with:

# dpkg -l |grep pve-kernel

And you can remove them with:

# dpkg --remove <pgname>

No.

vikozo · Jul 26, 2016

ok, thanks for your feedback
if i do a upgrade with comand line apt upgrade -y or on the GUI this will be the same i belive?

and, if i do like you descibet there are some packet i can't remove (but could remove them with --purge)

Hi,
look with "pveversion -v" and still keep the latest and the running kernel (if different).
