This is not a good plan.

It's much better to use "rpm -e" to remove unneeded/old kernels.

"uname -r" tells you which kernel you are running, so there is no
guesswork.

In addition, doing "rpm -e" will remove the entries from your
GRUB configuration, where moving things around (or just deleting them
without the aid of "rpm") will leave those lines hanging around.
