Unable to remove old kernel after kernel upgrade from 5.15 to 5.19

This prompt appears when I try to delete the 5.15 kernel. How can I safely delete the old kernel?

The 5.15 series is (and will remain) the default kernel for PVE 7.X - so the dependency will also remain in place.
The 5.19 is an opt-in for people running newer hardware (or running into other issues with the 5.15)

But the one kernel-package should really not use up too much diskspace -why bother trying to remove it in the first place?

Thanks! Because I use a script that automatically deletes the old kernel, it always reports this error. I thought there was some bug that caused this to fail to be deleted.
