recently my linux updated the kernel on its own, and because of this my boot out of memory, I am trying to remove the old linux kernel versions: 6.2.0 and 5.19.0.45
saba@saba:~$ dpkg --list | grep linux-image
pi linux-image-5.19.0-45-generic 5.19.0-45.46~22.04.1 amd64 Signed kernel image generic
ii linux-image-5.19.0-46-generic 5.19.0-46.47~22.04.1 amd64 Signed kernel image generic
ii linux-image-5.19.0-50-generic 5.19.0-50.50 amd64 Signed kernel image generic
pi linux-image-6.2.0-26-generic 6.2.0-26.26~22.04.1 amd64 Signed kernel image generic
I am attempting the removal with Mainline Kernels app (I've tried manually too but same thing)
but it displays following error:
mainline 1.4.8
uninstall 6.2.0-26.26~22.04.1

same error, no matter the kernel version.
when i try to remove it manually i do this:
sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-6.2.0-26-generic
and got this at the end of the logs
