Welcome to the forums.

I do not know if deleting it will let it create a new one with correct ownership & permissions or not.

chmod 755 /home/username
sudo chown $USER:$USER /home/username/.ICEauthority
sudo chmod 644 /home/username/.ICEauthority
sudo chmod 644 $HOME/.ICEauthority
look at the permissions on ~/.Xauthority, too. It often gets changed when ~/.ICEauthority gets changed. The same fix applies.
