Ubuntu keeps installing old kernels even though I don't need them
About removing old kernelsUnmet dependencies (linux-headers, linux-image)Boot partition is 100% full.

I have the /dev/sda1 /boot full, so I looked for the heaviest folders and these happen to be two older linux kernels, e.g. the 4.4.0-22-generic and 4.4.0-21-generic. I am running on 4.4.0.36-generic.
I delete these kernels.
But then when I do
sudo apt-get -f install
in order to solve unmet dependencies, they come back!
How do I get rid of them permanently?

Running apt autoremove causes update-initramfs to be run, which generates the initrd for the old kernels, which causes /boot to fill up again, even if you have cleared up space.
This is a long-standing problem.
