How to remove duplicated Ubuntu image from boot menu?

I've installed Ubuntu 18.04.1 alongside with Windows 10 on my asus gl503ge laptop.
Here is what grub detects:
artur@arturGL503GE:~$ sudo update-grub
[sudo] password for artur:

As you can see, by some reason there are 2 linux images vmlinuz-4.15.0-**45**-generic and vmlinuz-4.15.0-**44**-generic

There are two kernel images, in case one fails to boot, you have a prior one. I'd recommend leaving it there (unless you plan on never having a problem, then good luck). They are not duplicate, one is an older backup (you got the newer one when your system updated to 18.04.2). I don't understand your second part sorry.

This is normal. Ubuntu installation keeps two kernels: the current and the previous. It is done for a case when you can't boot the latest kernel for some reason.
If you remove the corresponding linux-generic-... package, the vmlinuz will be removed.
I don't recommend doing it.

There are two kernel images, in case one fails to boot, you have a prior one. I'd recommend leaving it there (unless you plan on never having a problem, then good luck). They are not duplicate, one is an older backup (you got the newer one when your system updated to 18.04.2). I don't understand your second part sorry.

There seem to be two questions in one. I suggest removing the second one. Otherwise the question may be closed as "too broad".
