If you have too many kernels we can get rid of the unused ones and free space as well as clean up Grub. if you run:

uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image

We can remove the unused kernels.

If you want to increase the timeout you can run:
gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

and change:
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10

To whatever timeout you desire, then run:
sudo update-grub

it will apply, you don't need any extra software.

Can you help with this problem?
