Hello,
How would I remove an old kernel that on my computer says it’s no longer installed?
Unable to install module steamos-xpad/20190810 for kernel 4.14.221-1-MANJARO: Missing kernel modules tree.
Please help, thank you!

Hello,
Open up Manjaro Settings Manager > Kernels and you can remove it from there, or check if is installed. Otherwise from Terminal:
sudo mhwd-kernel -r linux414
Is all documented in the Manjaro Kernels - Manjaro wiki …
First install another kernel, for example from the terminal:
sudo mhwd-kerneel -i linux54
Or
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux510
(5.4 is the current LTS and 5.10 is set to be the next LTS.)
If successful, you can then remove 4.14:
sudo mhwd-kernel -r 414
Hold your thumbs and reboot.
If all went well, then you’re good to go!
I am already running linux 510 which is the odd part about this.
When I ran
sudo mhwd-kernel -r 414
I got
