Bear in mind, if the OP is running 5.15.10, that's the second oldest 
kernel in the list. If he's got five newer kernels there, is 
eclean-kernel going to assume the live kernel is out-of-date and delete 
it? NOT a good idea.

The OP needs to make sure that both 5.15.41 and 5.15.48 are in his boot 
menu, AND that they both work, before risking clearing out the rest ...
