[Main@dom0 ~]$ qubes-prefs | grep default_kernel
default_kernel - 6.1.75-1.fc32
You can remove the old kernels using this command in dom0:
sudo dnf remove kernel-qubes-vm-6.1.57-1.fc32 kernel-qubes-vm-6.1.62-1.fc32
If you still wonât have enough space to install the templates then you can also check the old kernel packages used by dom0 and remove them as well:
dnf list installed | grep kernel
One kernel you mentioned is the default kernel. You want me to delete that?
Isnât default_kernel - 6.1.75-1.fc32?
Yes my mistake. here is the output
[Main@dom0 ~]$ sudo dnf remove kernel-qubes-vm-6.1.57-1.fc32
No match for argument: kernel-qubes-vm-6.1.57-1.fc32
No packages marked for removal.

Nothing to do.
Complete!
[Main@dom0 ~]$ sudo dnf remove kernel-qubes-vm-6.1.62-1

Hm, thatâs strange.
Whatâs the output of this command?
dnf list installed | grep kernel

Oh, my bad, the correct command to remove them is this one:
sudo dnf remove kernel-qubes-vm-6.1.57-1.qubes.fc32 kernel-qubes-vm-6.1.62-1.qubes.fc32
i removed them.

Can you try to install only whonix-gateway-17 without whonix-workstation-17?
If itâll still give you an error then try to free up some more space by removing old dom0 kernel packages.
Check the kernel used by dom0 using this command:
uname -r
And remove the oldest one if itâs not the version that is used by dom0:
sudo dnf remove kernel-6.1.57-1.qubes.fc32 kernel-devel-6.1.57-1.qubes.fc32 kernel-modules-6.1.57-1.qubes.fc32
