  The SAP error message APS_CKE084, which states "View is currently in use and therefore cannot be deleted," typically occurs when you attempt to delete a database view that is still being referenced or utilized by other objects in the system. This can include dependencies such as:
  
  Database Tables: If the view is based on one or more database tables that are still in use.
  Other Views: If other views are dependent on the view you are trying to delete.
  Programs or Reports: If any ABAP programs, reports, or transactions are using the view.

  Cause
  The primary cause of this error is that the view you are trying to delete is still active in the system, meaning that there are existing dependencies that prevent its deletion. This is a safeguard in SAP to ensure data integrity and prevent the accidental removal of objects that are still in use.
  Solution
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:

  Review the list of dependent objects and identify any programs, tables, or other views that are using the view.
  
  
  
  Remove Dependencies:
  
  If possible, modify or delete the dependent objects that are using the view. This may involve changing ABAP programs, reports, or other database views that reference it.
  Ensure that no active sessions or transactions are using the view.
  
  
  
  Deactivate the View:
  
  If you cannot delete the view immediately, consider deactivating it instead. This can be done by changing its status in the Data Dictionary.
  
  
  
  Retry Deletion:
