I just updated my fedora 41 to 42 using dnf. Now everything works find and boots but the old selection for fedora 41 is still on the bootloader options. How do I get this off? I tried something with grub2-mkconfig and that didn't work. I want the fedora 42 option (Adams) and a rescue option and my windows dual boot. Everything for fedora 41 I want to remove. What should I do?
Nothing.This merely selects the boot kernel, and you'll still boot the new release with any of these kernels. Upgrading to a new fedora release does not automatically remove all old kernels, or update their names. The upgrade installs the kernel from the new release and it becomes the default boot kernel.
A new kernel release goes out every week or so, on average. So, it won't be long before you install the next F42 kernel, leaving just one old kernel from F41 in the boot menu, and a little bit later the next update will clear out the last old kernel.
You probably will still have the old rescue kernel, from the old release, and that one will hang around forever. There are various howtos for getting rid of it and building a new rescue kernel, but nothing much is gained by it. Just leave it well enough, alone…
