What kernels are in your grub.cfg / boot menu. If they're not in there, 
just delete them from /boot.

It's normal to have your latest kernel in the boot menu, and one backup 
kernel.

So, for every kernel NOT in your boot list, cd into /boot and, as root, 
do "rm -i *x.y.z*" where x.y.z is the kernel version you want to get rid 
of. It'll query what files it's going to delete, but so long as it looks 
sensible, say "y" and get rid of it.

It looks like you've got seven kernels there, so five sevenths space 
freed up is quite a lot ...
