Multiple Entry on Boot menu

Ask Fedora
1

Hi! I am new to fedora, I just installed the version 30 and then found out that there’s already version 32 available. So I upgraded to version 31 and currently upgrading to version 32, however when I restart my system I found out that there are so many versions of fedora on the boot menu. The previous version 30 is still there. How can I remove it so it will only display 2 options; the windows 10 and fedora 32

Thanks in advance.

How many?
Could you show the result of this command?
rpm -qa | grep kernel

So in grub you have 3 entries, right?
If I’m not wrong, dnf maintains the last three kernels installed. So you have three entries in grub.
Each time you will upgrade the kernel, the oldest one will be uninstalled.

I have windows 10, fedora 30, 31 and 32. I want to remove the 30 and 31 since I have now successfully updated to fedora 32.

I also found this while trying some research:

  1. $ su -c “package-cleanup --oldkernels --count=1”

will this work? I haven’t tried this yet.

Take a look here:

There is a good reason you have more than 1 Fedora kernel installed. Just keep everything the way it is. Your f30 and f31 kernel will disappear as new kernel will be installed for your f32.

Thank you for enlightening me. I really appreciate it. I really thought this was an installation/upgrade issue that needs to be removed after. I’ll keep it then. Once again thank you
