Dom0 update error, kernel

Probably because i am on testing but i am having trouble deciphering this error, if anyone would be so kind to explain a few things.

Is this just a disk space problem and how would i fix it?

root / had already 1.6GB free after vacuum gained another 500ish MB, now 2.1GB free, are kernels that much large nowadays?
du -sh /lib/modules/kernel-folder prints less then 400MB per kernel

Still wondering.

But how many did you have? 1.6G can get filled quite quickly. Also consider that while a new kernel is download, the old ones don’t get deleted yet.

Were you able to solve your issue?

well had the problem with 1.6GB free, still waiting on update manager to give me result now with 2.1GB free

Everything should be OK. It’s just that some of your qubes are using this kernel so it can’t be removed?

yes thanks, found the one appVM i had forgotten about i had switched to a specific kernel during testing and set that one to default.

Unfortunately even though i have 2GB free i had to vacuum and dnf clean all again today because of 7MB missing during dom0 kernel updates.

I do see in AppVM Settings GUI three 6.1 kernels and three 5.15. kernels in the pull down.
$ rpm -qa kernel lists the 3 currently installed kernels, how do i list all the appVM kernels in cli?
How many kernels are usually kept for the AppVMs and how would one remove obsolete ones?

Did we reach the point were the Qubes installer would have to default to a larger root partition?

$ rpm -qa kernel* | sort -V
