Installation size increase: Upgrade to 23.1.1 from 23.1 - Remove old kernels

[gspannu]

I did a clean install of 23.1 few days back. Lat night upgraded to 23.1.1.

I notice that my installation size has increased considerably. It seems that the older kernels (other files) are not automatically deleted on an upgrade to a new revision.


Anyone know how to remove older kernels/ unused files from OPNsense - I am not looking to downgrade, so do not need the older files.

% du -hd1 /boot/kernel.old
84M   /boot/kernel.old

Ok, but there are reasons here:

84 MB isn't too much, it may be required for recovery, it will only do this once.

Of course you can delete that directory after each kernel update, but i think you have other issues being concerned about 84 MB here...
