I'm having issues with updating my kernel running Ubuntu 14.04 on kernel 4.4.0-45-generic. When I run apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade, my /boot drive runs out of space. I go look at /boot and see that it has installed initrd.img-3.19.0-64-generic through initrd.img-3.19.0-73-generic, which seems unnecessary.
Based on the other files in /boot and the kernel I am running now, I think I should be on initrd.img-4.4.0-57-generic. Thus, I am unsure why upgrade is installing all of these unnecessary initrd.img (it does not install any of the other files for the older kernels).
Following the advice in several places on how to clean /boot, I manually deleted the older initrd.img files and re-run apt-get upgrade. Again, it downloads and installs the same initrd packages, runs out of space, and fails. How can I fix apt upgrade? How to I prevent it from installing old kernels? Any help would be most appreciated. In case it is useful, here is the full output from apt-get upgrade:

I tried to remove old kernels as described here.
It failed with the error message:

A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
I then found a very similar issue that may be the same or similar to what I'm experiencing. Would manually removing all linux-image-3.19.* from /var/lib/dpkg/info/ be an option? I'm imagining not, but I don't know what else to do.
