1) rpm -qa | grep ^kernel

This will provide a list of all kernel flavored packages installed on
your system.

2) rpm -e kernel-unwanted-version kernel-unwanted-devel kernel-unwanted-etc

You can remove the unwanted packages one per command line or multiple as above.

or

yum remove kernel-unwanted-version

smart remove kernel-unwanted-version

You can also use the GUI versions of smart or yumex to do the same.
