Verify the error message is true by running "df". Running "uname -a" will
tell you what kernel you are using. If that version number matches those
files I would not delete any of them. The dates are the best clue. That
initrd was just generated and maybe files in the grub directory filled up
the disk. Since it looks like a separate partition I would resize or move
those files to a new partition.
