These are considered now deprecated or legacy commands/utilities, please get more info on their equivalent (in the order):

How to remove older kernel in linux?

Sometimes is necessary to free up some space, especially when the /boot directory is on a different partition with space constraints.

#yum install yum-utils

#package-cleanup –oldkernels –count=2

It will keep only two kernels and not remove the current running kernel; so make sure you are running the latest Kernel.
