For comparison here is the sizes of /boot and the folders inside it

$ df -h /boot

/dev/sda3       974M  240M  667M  27% /boot

As you can see I have 3 kernels only.

I doubt your space issue is the number of kernels unless you have
a very old install that predates the 1GiB /boot days.

His earlier post shows:
/dev/sda3         485348   379984     75668  84% /boot

So that's presumably a 500GB /boot.

The presence of /boot/grub hints at disk original setup a long time ago.

But 500GiB is still far bigger then the 240MiB that I'm using for F38 and 3 kernels.
