I like to pass output of this command:
dpkg --list | grep 'linux-image\|linux-headers\|linux-modules' | grep '6.5.0-060500rc3' | awk '{print $2}'
which is:
linux-headers-6.5.0-060500rc3
linux-headers-6.5.0-060500rc3-generic
linux-image-unsigned-6.5.0-060500rc3-generic
linux-modules-6.5.0-060500rc3-generic
to this next command:
sudo apt-get purge
I tried to use xargs but getting errors:
root@cubic:~# dpkg --list | grep 'linux-image\|linux-headers\|linux-modules' | grep '6.5.0-060500rc3' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -I{} sudo apt purge {}

I used -y:
dpkg --list | grep 'linux-image\|linux-headers\|linux-modules' | grep '6.5.0-060500rc3' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -I{} sudo apt purge -y {}
and there were a lot of errors but it did purge those kernels. Please let me know if there’s better way. Thanks.
