This error can arise when there are issues related to the function groups that have been generated during the configuration or development process.
  Cause:
  
  Dependency Issues: The function group you are trying to delete may have dependencies with other objects or function modules that are still in use.
  Transport Issues: If the function group is part of a transport request that has not been released or is still in the import queue, it may prevent deletion.
