When grub show up, select old kernel.

Next, type the command below to view / list all installed kernels on your system. 

dpkg --list | grep linux-image

Find the newest kernel than your current kernel. When you know which kernel to remove, continue below to remove it. 

sudo apt-get purge linux-image-x.x.x.x-generic

Finally, run the commands below to update grub2

sudo update-grub2

Reboot your system
