Error in synchronisation with monerod

Question

I had a problem with the synchronisation of monerod because when starting, it gives me this error:

The second line of the log indicates Address already in use, which means that the address the daemon is trying to use (0.0.0.0:18080) is already used by some other sofware on your machine. As if there was already a monerod daemon running.
