Thanks very much. I tried taking out just 2.6.22-14 using something like
apt-get -y remove 2.6.22-14* but it for some reason I don't understand it 
also took out 2.6.22-14. I guess should have been more careful in looking 
up the right command. Now I am reinstalling xubuntu which looks like 
it uses less hard drive space.
