How to Remove a Kernel from Debian Backports?

For security reasons, stability or performance issues, or other issues, it is needed to remove a kernel from Debian Backports. It may also be a step toward going back to a prior change for another reasons. Also, removing useless kernels is a good solution if disk space needs to be freed up.

We will need to use Debian’s package management tools in order to uninstall a kernel that was setup from Debian Backports. Here’s how to uninstall a backported kernel, step-by-step:

1. To begin with, we must find the precise package name of the kernel that we need to remove. We can use the following code in order to list all the kernel packages, including backports ones:

debian remove backports kernel

This code will lists all installed kernel packages. Find the package that corresponds to the backported kernel that we want to get rid of. Most package names begin with linux-image.

2. Use the apt or apt-get command to delete the package after we’ve determined its name. Substitute [package-name] with the backported kernel’s actual package name:

debian remove backports kernel

3. Ensure that the GRUB bootloader setup is updated to reflect the removal of the kernel package. Sprint:

debian remove backports kernel

4. To get rid of any remaining dependencies or settings connected to the deleted kernel package, we can also use apt or apt-get.

Conclusion

Following these steps, the system ought to resume using the originally installed kernel and the backported kernel should have been successfully uninstalled.
