Comment 3 for bug 420837

Sorry, I miss understood your questions, I really don't think that there
is a way in computer janitor to accomplish this task, but you can go in
terminal and type

uname -r

and then go to Synaptic Package Manager and type the output of the
command in quick search and you will get the kernel in the search, then
right click and mark for complete removal. This will automatically
update your grub and leave nothing behind, you might have to do a sudo
apt-get autoremove just in case

Hope that solves your problem,
Vikram
