This script basically cleans up all the possible paths that might be populated from a `make modules_install` and `make install`. Given that the kernel is removed, the grub entry is also removed with the help of `grubby`. This is an ad-hoc script created to quickly remove a kernel without much fuss about it.

Could you add a check for making sure you're not deleting the running kernel? Additionally could you add an Entry to the ReadMe explaining this and the expected use case and limitations? Otherwise thanks this will be helpful for full systems or those that don't treat their VM's as disposable (i know this is important to some) |
