No, first determin the version(s) you no longer want;

# rpm -qa 'kernel*'

Then as root or equivalent from the outputted list carefully do;

# rpm -e kernel-

Repeat for each version you no longer want.

Many thanks. That makes it much easier (after I removed the
single quotes in the "rpm -qa kernel*" line :-)
