Perhaps Colin made a typo and "autoclean" should read "autoremove",
however first run

  sudo apt-get clean
  sudo apt-get autoremove

to free some space.

Then run

  sudo apt-get update

to update your package index, after that execute

 sudo apt-get install gparted

to install one of the most used partitioning tools with a GUI.

It's common practice to use gparted from a live media, but in your case
it's also possible to do it from your Ubuntu install, assumed you still
have enough free space to install it.

Another issue is the manipulation of partitions, assumed the starting
point of a Linux install should change, so it's also no problem for what
you want to do.

Launch gparted

  sudo gparted

select "/dev/sda1 ntfs" with the mouse. Right-click and select "Format
to" and chose "ext4". On top push click "Apply" and continue. Perhaps
it asks for confirmation, but everything that follows should be
self-explaining.

When finished post the output of

  cat /etc/fstab

and the output of

  blkid /dev/sda1

then we can help you to make the new ext4 partition available for your
install.

Assumed blkid shouldn't already be installed, run

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install util-linux
