Biggest Thankls @dietmar.

Can you include a option, to remove automatical old images and only last 3 images aren´t delete?

regards
 
You will have to use Script to achieve that. I dont think there is a single Linux command which will auto delete based on criteria. Below is a sample code that you can start with. Test it before you put it in action:

if [[ $(ls /boot/vmlinuz*.* | wc -l) > 10 ]]then
find /boot/vmlinuz*.* ! -newer $(ls -t | sed '11!d') -exec rm {} \; fi
Click to expand...

This example keeps 10 files then deletes older files. You can just switch 10 to 3. But... DO EXPERIMENT FIRST ON TEST FOLDER!!
