How can I remove old kernels and is it safe in KDE Neon?
How many do you have? Or rather, which kernels do you have in excess, specifically?
Most Ubuntu based systems keep a few around, 3 or so for.
You may have even more, if one still has upgraded from 20.04 base.
This is a good thing to have, as even the small security fixes most of these kernels provide can have the potential to break an oddball driver here and there.
Check like so:
apt search linux-image | grep installed
Here is what one of my recent-ish installs shows:
$ apt search linux-image | grep installed
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

Note the last two here are meta-packages that don’t provide any actual kernels, but depend on them. I have three kernels installed.
The first thing to do, if you haven’t already done so, is to run an autoremove with apt, and see if that offers up excess kernels to be removed.
sudo apt autoremove

sudo apt autoremove
should clean things up, but check what it will do before you commit to it and if you have more questions post the list of packages here before you say (Y).
you might also post the output of these queries to shed more light on your situation.
ls -1 /boot/vm*
apt list --installed linux-hwe* linux-image* linux-mod* linux-head* linux-gen*

Yup, running sudo apt autoremove will clear things out quite a bit for you.

that’s a lot of stuff.
i did notice a lot of it was set to auto-removable instead of automatic
not sure if that’s significant, but it is different from my system which regularly keeps my number of kernels at 2 without having to run autoremove
man apt-mark for more info
Sometimes this cleanup process can fail to work. I have seen it happen to people using various *buntu systems over the years, though it is not overly common. I think occasional Ubuntu packaging bugs can mis-mark or fail to properly mark these packages.
There was the time I went through 7 Kubuntu upgrades. I can’t remember the number of kernels I had after that 
I have one more little problem. I will write here so as not to start a new topic.
In Win10, with speakers and headphones turned
on, I can switch between these devices. In KDE, in order to have sound
from the speakers, they must disconnect the headphones. Is there any
solution to this?
