The command is apt-get, not apt get, there is a dash in between the words. This would make the entire command "sudo apt-get clean" without the quotes of course.

When you need to do something that can change your computer you need administrator access and that means that it will ask for your password for security reasons. Other wise anybody could remote connect to your machine and totally control it, just like in windows. Also kubuntu is not on the E: when you are running it. There are no letter drives in linux - ever.

There are two commands that will tell you exactly how much disk space you have. The first one is a general thing and the second has a bit more detail. Please copy and paste the following into the terminal (Konsole) and then copy and paste what comes out of them back to this list. We will know what your actual disk situation is then.

First command:
df -h
Second command:
sudo du / -h --max-depth=1

As you can see, there are spaces at the suggested commands.

And it is "sudo du" not "sudo do".

I suggest that you use copy and paste to get the commands exactly
right. Try not to just type them in again.
