You can remove the old kernels listed in grub by uninstalling the packages in software centre or apt-get. Part of the post uninstall is to remove itself from grub.

What other edits do you wish to do?

Thanks

Hi sacarde,
here is another good (and better IMHO) way to achieve your goal.
Boot Ubuntu directly from Grub. No usb-sticks or anything. Also you can create a casper-rw partition to store your data.
