boot - Old kernels not properly removed

My /boot is out of space. Issue is, I've been deleting my old kernels:


$ dpkg -l | grep linux-image
ii linux-image-4.15.0-36-generic 4.15.0-36.39 amd64 Signed kernel image generic
ii linux-image-generic 4.15.0.36.38 amd64 Generic Linux kernel image

Looks like 4.15.0-34 and 4.13.0-19 weren't properly deleted:

apt-get autoremove doesn't help:


$ sudo apt-get autoremove linux-image-4.15.0-34-generic
[sudo] password for matt:

Reading state information... Done
Package 'linux-image-4.15.0-34-generic' is not installed, so not removed
...

No luck with grub either:


$ sudo update-grub
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-36-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-36-generic

How can I safely (re)delete these? Or do I just rm -f them?
