How to fix "Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running" error in linux

Today I had a problem. I have allocated around 30 GB of hard disk for my elementary os installation. It was almost full and only around 110 MB free space was there. But I had run the software update and shut down the computer. But after some time, when I restarted the computer, I was not able to access the Graphical User Interface. I am stuck.

Then I tried accessing the another terminal (not GUI, but tty) using key shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F1 I was able to access the terminal. I gave my username and password and I was able to login to the terminal. Then only thing not working is GUI (Hint :- issue with X windows system). I ran the command df -h and found that / is full (there is no free space).
