HI,

I am unable to remove the linux kernels that I do not want.

This is just trying to remove one of the linux kernels;

The following packages will be REMOVED:
linux-image-5.18.17-amd64-desktop-hwe
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 356 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
(Reading database ... 281109 files and directories currently installed.)
