is it safe to remove linux-image-generic after installing linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04?

if you don't care about reverting back that is.

Yes as long as the linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04 is working you can remove the old kernels.

See How do I remove old kernel versions to clean up the boot menu? for additional information.

Try it with the --dry-run options to dpkg: 

sudo dpkg --dry-run --remove linux-image-generic
