Thanks Valdis. I checked /lib/modules directory. It had a lot of
subdirectories - one for each kernel build I guess, each one around 4GB.
I have removed some of the older one's with "rm" cmd. I hope it doesn't
break grub.

My local kernel repository size has inflated to around 14 GB after
building kernel a few times. I was wondering if it keeps previous images
as well which could be taking a lot of disk space.
Not sure what you mean by "local kernel repository". The kernel build directory
should use pretty much the same amount of disk each time you build it (unless
you're using O= pointing at a different place each time, in which case it's doing
exactly what you told it to do...)
Note that if you install a lot of kernels, you'll end up with lots of
subdirectories in /lib/modules if you don't clear them out. Particularly a
problem if you build a kernel a week (like I do) and use a "distro" config that
builds almost everything (I don't do that).
