How to remove the 2 old Linux kernel modules from kernels 3.0.0-19 und 3.2.0-26?

~$ man dkms

"'dkms remove [module/module-version]' removes a module/version combination from a tree.'

What is a "[module/module-version]", please?

Please notice:

I do not want to remove old Linux kernel modules tp_smapi from a tree but I'd like to remove old Linux kernel modules from my Ubuntu 12.04.1 computer.
