What is the current, simple, best practice, f38 way of removing the

It *ought* to be as simple as
dnf remove kernel.....
Where you use a specific kernel package version name. And it does
everything.
Which is pretty much happens when you install a new kernel update and
it removed the oldest one, automatically.
You can play with the DNF configuration files to specify how many
kernels (install-only packages) to keep on your system, and let it
automatically handle this for you. But I always suggest keeping more
than 3, I go for 5. It might be some time before you notice that a
kernel update has caused a problem, and it's handy to be able to go
back more than just one, to test things.
Because of past problems with hard drive space when doing upgrades, I've got it set to keep 3. (installonly_limit=3).
How do I get the full "name" of the kernel to be deleted without re-booting (so I can see the grub menu)?
