Well, the grub.cfg contains everything, including the lines that I'd like to remove. But since it says do not edit, I haven't changed anything from there, figuring that it wouldn't make a difference anyway since that content is compiled from several sources. That old laptop works flawlessly and boots up lightning fast with a 120GB SSD. Anyway, here's that content:

Code:
#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub

1. You must have created /etc/grub.d/10_linux_proxy - remove it (make a backup if you really want to use it).
2. Remove the kernels and headers you don't need (4.15.0-1-amd64)
3. sudo update-grub
4. Compare the difference between this posted grub.cfg and your new one.
5. Reboot

Thank you, thank you, thank you ... for having the patience to stick with me on this.
That was the solution!

I'm curious though ... if I had just deleted the kernel files that I didn't want, followed by sudo update-grub, would that have achieved the same thing?

No. The existence of /etc/grub.d/10_linux_proxy was duplicating the entries.
