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
