Eddie,
Actually you should never simply "rm" any file(s) originally installed by
rpm/yum/dnf. You're sure to have configuration and other support files
left behind as orphans.
If you use yum/dnf to remove the 4.14 kernel, when you install the next
kernel update the /boot directory will again have three kernels plus the
rescue.
yum remove kernel-4.14.8-300.fc27.x86_64
--Doc
PS
If you run:
rpm -qa | grep kernel | sort
you'll get a list of all installed kernel, kernel-core, kernel-devel, and
other related packages all with their version numbers. If there are any of
those with the 4.14 kernel number, remove those packages too.

Thanks for the reply....when I grep that info?...there's
vmlinuz-4.14.8-300.fc27.x86_64
vmlinuz-4.19.2-301.fc29.x86_64
vmlinux-4.19.3-300.fc29.x86_64
I assume a simple "rm /path-to-/file-name will suffice?...(not too
familiar with removing things any other way from the Terminal!)
