For example if your old kernel is gentoo-sources-2.6.12
Then do:
| Code: | | emerge -C gentoo-sources-2.6.12 |
But fist you have to make sure you booted into the new kernel:

You probably overwrote the bzImage in /boot when you did the upgrade unless you specifically renamed the working kernel so as to have a backup incase something were to go wrong with the new one. as far as getting rid of the sources, if you emerged them just use the command
| Code: | | emerge -unmerge name-of-kernel-sources |
or if you just downloaded the sources from kernel.org you could
| Code: | | rm -rf /usr/src/name-of-kernel-sources |
That should take care of you.
