Nope not in this version.

Where did you get your version? I used discover and it downloaded version 5.6.0.

I'm running a fully updated KDE Neon User Edition and Muon is at version 5.7.0

Version 5.6.0 on my system includes a Purge option if you click on the down arrow next to the Removal button.

Today I turned on my computer and it did the same thing as it did with the other kernel. I think it was those UEFI updates that I added yesterday. That's probably what messed up my other kernel. Now what do I do since I have no other kernels on this machine? Just the recovery mode that I am using now. I guess I will have to try to figure out how to use my BTRFS snapshots to roll back root.

IMO with a 2007 or so consumer grade HP you're on borrowed time, to say the least. My advice is to cut your losses now. Electronics recycling seems too good a fate for them; maybe after a session with a sledgehammer.

If you created your snapshots as read only (using -r) then all you have to do is, as root in a Konsole:
mount /dev/sdX (1?) /mnt
mv /mnt/@ /mnt/@_old
mv /mnt/@home /mnt/@home_old

btrfs subvol snapshot /mnt/snapshots/@_bkupyyyymmdd /mnt/@
btrfs subvol snapshot /mnt/snapshots/@home_bkupyyyymmdd /mnt/@home
exit
exit
and then reboot.

Of course, change the values of /dev/sdX(1) and yyyymmdd to your values, or however you snapshotted them.
