Hello, I've received an email just now : The filesystem "/boot" mounted at "/boot" reached "warn" status because you currently use 87.45% of its available blocks.
I've checked few posts on forum, i found that i need to remove some files and old kernels from /boot folder but it is risky. so i want advise regarding what file can be removed from here, here is the image attached showing kernel name and list of files of /boot folder :

  Hey there! While I am more than happy to offer advice and resources, please note that questions regarding what data is and isn't safe to delete would be best handled by a systems administrator. We ultimately can't be certain what impact removing any specific files will have on your host. Nothing should be manually removed from the /boot partition. The only files that are written to /boot are boot kernels. In all likeliness, there are old kernels in /boot taking up space. I would suggest booting into the most recent kernel and removing the oldest ones. As kernel-related tasks such as this are unrelated to cPanel and its bundled software, seeking guidance from a systems administrator is advised if you're unsure about performing the work in any of these articles. Please reach out if you have any more questions!
