Note: I'm using stock Debian Unstable, not Siduction.
I went to remove the prior two kernel versions today and I noticed that linux-image-5.14.0-3-amd is still on my system, but it's not marked for auto-removal.
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-6.0.0-4-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-6.0.0-4-amd64
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-6.0.0-3-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-6.0.0-3-amd64
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-5.14.0-3-amd64
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-5.14.0-3-amd64
Is it okay to just remove it using:
sudo apt purge
Any idea why linux-image-5.14.0-3-amd is not being flagged for auto-removal?

This kernel you have
- not installed with apt
- installed by hand
Yes, you also have to uninstall it by hand. ;)

What does
apt-mark showhold and apt-mark showmanual linux-image-5.14.0-3-amd64 say?
btw linux-image-5.14.0-3-amd64 is not a siduction kernel but seems to be a debian one because its missing "siduction" in its name.

Apparently I skipped that line. Mea culpa.

No, I don't install kernels by hand.

The kernel is not being held. I'll have to log into the Debian Unstable install on my laptop later today and try the apt-mark showmanual command. However, I did not manually install the kernel. I never manually install kernels.

Correct...I use the Siduction forums because I've learned a lot from the members about using Debian Unstable.
I also run Debian Unstable on my desktop and the kernel doesn't exist there; really weird. I'm going to attempt to purge the kernel from my laptop.

synaptic etc. ?

I never, ever use Synaptic to perform installs or removals. I learned about not doing that very long ago when I became interested in Ubuntu.

Output of apt-mark showmanual linux-image-5.14.0-3-amd64:
linux-image-5.14.0-3-amd64
So I guess that means it was manually installed. How, I have no idea. I successfully purged the kernel from my laptop. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this thread.
