Delete unused kernel?

I hate to use the words delete and kernel in the same sentence, but since I use the LTS kernel, would there be any problem with deleting the other kernel? The non-LTS kernel always causes errors when I update my system.

Thanks!

linux 6.9.9.arch1-1 -> 6.10.arch1-2             <-- delete?
linux-api-headers 6.8-1 -> 6.10-1               <-- this too?
linux-headers 6.9.9.arch1-1 -> 6.10.arch1-2     <-- delete?
linux-lts 6.6.40-1 -> 6.6.40-2
linux-lts-headers 6.6.40-1 -> 6.6.40-2

Here is my uname -a to confirm:

It’s always useful to have a secondary kernel installed if the other one and the fallbacks fail to boot, so I would keep it if you have enough space on your boot partition.

You would want to keep this one.

Reason:

pactree -r linux-api-headers

Thanks!
I must resist the urge to tinker.
If it works…
