  Solution:

  Look for any query views that reference the query in question.
  
  
  
  Remove References:
  
  If you need to delete or modify the query, first remove it from any query views that are using it. This may involve editing the query views to either replace the query with another one or to remove the dependency entirely.
  
  
  
  Modify the Query:
  
  Once all references are removed, you can proceed to modify or delete the query without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
