With fedora it is totally unnecessary to remove older kernels. Fedora does that automatically and by default keeps the latest 3 kernels installed in case of a boot problem. Thus that script is normally not needed. Note also that the link you followed is for power users – as shown by the note at the very top.

If you run the command dnf list installed 'kernel*' you should see each kernel package listed with the latest 3 versions (with a couple exceptions having only one version). Any differences would normally be because the user chose to keep more or had not upgraded enough times to perform at least 2 kernel updates after the initial install.

Most users never need to do anything more than the dnf upgrade and the system manages the rest for them.
