Cleaning up /boot

https://pastebin.com/pev12qkt

Was upgrading like normal, boom full boot partition. I always forget what is going on with my boot partition but every time I'm done updating it I am too afraid to delete the stuff of unknown origin. It seems like I shouldn't have 3 different grub directories at the very least.. what can I safely remove? Like, I don't think I would need so many locales for stuff ... probably?

Re: Cleaning up /boot

/boot usually won't grow "enormously" - by default - on standard configurations... Unless you're installing a lot of differente kernel(s)!
Post here:

# lsblk -f

# cat /etc/fstab

# df -h

Re: Cleaning up /boot

arch kernel / initramfs are huge, if you want so save some space you can get rid of the fallback images (you'll have to boot a livecd and chroot, whenever the regular initrd doesn't work). or just keep the fallback and get rid of the optimized one...

either way, /boot can't be too small, but too many wiki/guide recommend way too small sizes for /boot and then you have problems.
