  • May be a permissions problem. Try deleting as root.

After a simple Google search, I found this post. Take a look at the 2nd and 3rd comment for a possible solution.

According to @KnotMan33

Thank YOU my pi is now working!!

I didn't do anything but check my SD card usage with 

    df -h

and then it ran Startx again and i worked!

I think that the Pi didn't recognize that there was space available until i ran df -h where it realized there was lots of extra space.

Thank you again!!!

    would be more appropriate to include some quotes from the post just in case if the forum goes offline and renders your answer irrelevant.
