I was facing Nvidia driver issue in kernel 6.8.9, then i upgraded to kernel 6.8.10, which somehow fixed driver issue on kernel 6.8.9, but grub is not showing kernel 6.8.10 for boot but showing removed kernel which should be removed after upgrading to latest kernel.but the kernel is showing in grub-customizer gui.
below are some images and outputs to understand the issue.
Note I already Tried
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
