I get the below error when I try to install updates using Software Updater:

Not enough free disk space
The upgrade needs a total of 81.3 M free space on disk '/boot'.
Please free at least an additional 15.9 M of disk space on '/boot'.
Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'.

What should I do?
