Most likely an incremental - - Lite tweaks classifies Kernel Removal as cautious.. As there is always a potential.. I think you are fine in doing so keeping in mind..
There are 3 or 4 entries per kernel version.. Ensure you are removing those associated with each other and are removing older kernels..
I don't believe the in use kernel is selectable.. But know which kernel you're running prior. This can be done with the following command...
Obviously don't remove your current - unless having problems with it. Which you would most likely of booted into an old kernel if you were having problems...
As such, I like to keep the previous kernel or 2 just on the in case (all 3 or 4 entries of each)..
Example: I have 4.4.0-70, 4.4.0-75 and 4.4.0-77.. I also have 4.10.0 installed so I would remove 4.4.0-70 being the oldest knowing all has worked fine since then.
I would defiantly keep 4.4.0-77 should I find 4.10 doesn't fit my needs and I need to revert my kernel back...
And 4.4.0-75 could go either way being the middle child
as such I may let it hang around a bit more ;D
