Although edwin’s answer accurately describes how to free up space on /boot (563 up votes) it doesn’t address the question of how to incorporate /boot into / to avoid micro-management of disk space.

This question is a good example with gparted image:

Please help me here. I am always getting messages saying no free space
available in boot partition.

enter image description here

This is the good answer by Pilot6 posted for that question:

You need to boot from Ubuntu LiveUSB first.

Your sda5, sda6 and sda7 partitions are inside the extended
sda4 partition.

You will need to extend sda4, then move sda5 and sda6 left, then
extend sda7.

You will also need to re-install grub, because start sector of your
/boot partition will change. It can be done from LiveUSB by

sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt  
sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/boot  
sudo chroot /mnt  
sudo grub-install /dev/sda  
exit  
⇧ The computer didn't automatically boot from USB, How can I automatically relaunch nautilus if I quit the program?  β‡©
