    it should work, but you should contact someone else about it, maybe make a copy on a portable drive or something.

    I don't think this is the right forum for this? but i may be wrong, just saying

    Look at your grub.conf in the /boot partition. If you want to delete the older kernels, edit the grub file and remove them out of the options as well.

    Hi, Unused Kernels you can remove, even if you removed something wrong you can boot into your system by editing Grub bootloader, during startup to change the kernel path.
