Deleting old kernel and removing it from boot loader?

Ok. I updated my kernel in Red Hat 8. Now is there a way to remove the old one from the boot loader list and "uninstall" the old one? Thanks.

Using Lilo.

yes, edit /etc/lilo.conf and remove the relevant entires, then uninstall the old package with "rpm -e packagename"

I tried removing the entries but it still shows up in the boot loader. What am I doing wrong?
