  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the CDS view may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion.
  
  
  Active Usage: The CDS view might be actively used in the system, such as being part of a data model or being referenced in other objects.
  
  
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as database locks or inconsistencies in the metadata.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to check if the CDS view is being used elsewhere. You can also use the Where-Used List functionality to identify dependencies.

  Check for Active Usage: Ensure that the CDS view is not being actively used in any reports or applications. If it is, you may need to deactivate or remove those usages first.
  
  
  Technical Troubleshooting: If you suspect a technical issue, check for any database locks or inconsistencies. You may need to consult with your Basis team to resolve any underlying technical problems.
