Kernel updates will not install - boot partition full

I am running 14.04 LTS.
Kernel updates will not install or uninstall.
The boot space (approx 240Mb) is now full and using sudo apt-get autoremove, autoclean, clean or remove will not work.
This all started with kernel update 3.13.0-47.
No space is freed and the following comes up.....
sudo apt-get autoremove

Reading state information... Done
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 60 not to upgrade.
7 not fully installed or removed.

Still no luck. No space left on device (I can't empty boot) and unmet dependencies? The link /initrd.img is a damaged link Removing symbolic link initrd.img you may need to re-run your boot loader[grub] How do I re-run GRUB?

How can this be fixed without doing a reinstall? I tried to resize the boot area and GParted will not let me.

Still no luck. No space left on device (I can't empty boot) and unmet dependencies? The link /initrd.img is a damaged link Removing symbolic link initrd.img you may need to re-run your boot loader[grub] How do I re-run GRUB?

I had the same problem. After doing df -h I saw that my /boot was almost full. I went through this guide to uninstall old versions of ubuntu. Now the update works fine. It is a bit odd, because normally I get an error telling me /boot is almost full rather than a non-descriptive failure message.
