You can remove old kernels by using:
rpm -e kernel-2.(the old versions)
Run rpm -qa|grep kernel
to see what old kernels you have.
Run uname -r
to get your current kernel.
When I get around to cleaning things up, I like to leave at least the
previous one and, of course, the current one.
I believe that rpm -e will also clean up grub.
