Not sure if uninstall is a target or not. You can just remove the package though, or /boot/bzImage_file_name and /lib/modules/X.X.X/ for a home built. Removing the entry from your bootloader isn't necessary, but will keep you from trying to boot it by accident.

Note: If you only have one kernel, removing it would be "bad"
