I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, and two active linux images 3.2.0-37 and 3.2.0-36. In the /usr/src/ directory i find:



linux-headers-3.2.0-23    
linux-headers-3.2.0-23-generic
linux-headers-3.2.0-26
linux-headers-3.2.0-26-generic
linux-headers-3.2.0-29
linux-headers-3.2.0-29-generic
linux-headers-3.2.0-31
linux-headers-3.2.0-31-generic
linux-headers-3.2.0-32
linux-headers-3.2.0-32-generic
linux-headers-3.2.0-33
linux-headers-3.2.0-33-generic
linux-headers-3.2.0-34
linux-headers-3.2.0-34-generic
linux-headers-3.2.0-35
linux-headers-3.2.0-35-generic
linux-headers-3.2.0-36
linux-headers-3.2.0-36-generic
linux-headers-3.2.0-37
linux-headers-3.2.0-37-generic


Today I sudo apt-get purge linux-image-x.x.x.x-generic *34 and *35



I have to add that /boot contains only *36 and *37.



Is it safe to remove all of these except *37 and *36 ? Thank you in advance.

Those are header files are contained in the linux-headers-* and linux-headers-*-generic packages. It should be safe to remove them through apt-get. Maybe apt-get autoremove will already suggest that to you. Please do not remove them manually!
