I need to install some applications on my ubuntu, but apparently my /boot partition is full.
running apt-get -f install
Unpacking linux-image-3.13.0-49-generic (3.13.0-49.83) ... dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-3.13.0-49-generic_3.13.0-49.83_amd64.deb (--unpack):
cannot copy extracted data for './boot/abi-3.13.0-49-generic' to '/boot/abi-3.13.0-49-generic.dpkg-new': failed to write (No space left on device)
I just removed lots of old kernels from boot folder. I think i removed around 200 mb from this folder, but I still get the same error from apt-get!
Since the server is on the hosting company outside the city, direct access to the server is not possible (For example installing Gparted on live CD and expanding /boot partition)
I need to do it remotely! There is also another problem, Since I removed lots of files from /boot folder I am afraid that the server won't boot up again!

I also removed old kernels manually. for example there was lots of files config-3.13.0-xx-generic and the latest file was config-3.13.0-48-generic so I removed all config-3.13.0-xx-generic which was older than 48-generic I also did that with vmlinuz-3.13.0-xx-generic files too, and also config-3.13.0-xx-generic, I only kept 48-generic files, I'm not sure if it's the right version to keep! I regret my actions!
UPDATE
root@iscanews:/boot# uname -r
3.13.0-44-generic
Does that mean I deleted the wrong files?? What can I do now?!
UPDATE
root@iscanews:/boot# sudo apt-get autoremove

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-image-extra-3.13.0-46-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-46-generic but it is not installed
linux-image-extra-3.13.0-49-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-49-generic but it is not installed
linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-49-generic but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Thanks to user A.B I recovered my removed files from trash, and permanently removed old kernerls from boot directory.
df -h? Posting inode counts confused me./bootalready and how did you do it, byapt-get remove --purge <package>or by deleting files directly?sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-3.13.0-44 linux-headers-3.13.0-44-genericas soon as your space problems have been solved.sudo apt-get autoremove?du -h /boot
