Im getting this error when trying to run the dfx start command. I’ve tried running the dfx start --clean command to resolve this. I’ve also tried deleting the .dfx file, and haven’t had any luck with any of them. does anyone know of a cause and/or solution to this error?

In my case I am doing a reinstall (uninstall, kill process and install again)
~/.cache/dfinity/uninstall.sh
ps aux | grep 8000 // process might be already stopped, but whatever
kill -9 *pid*
sh -ci "$(curl -fsSL https://smartcontracts.org/install.sh)"
because if you just kill the process - dfx starts it again
Anytime I get this error, it is from me not stopping any dfx instances already running(even if from a separate terminal). After entering ‘dfx stop’, it clears up.
