  The SAP error message CFD_CDS_ADAPTER005, which states "Deletion of CDS view &1 failed," typically occurs when there is an issue with deleting a Core Data Services (CDS) view in the SAP system. This error can arise due to various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Possible Causes:
  
  
  Dependencies: The CDS view you are trying to delete may have dependencies, such as being used in other CDS views, reports, or applications. If other objects depend on the CDS view, the system will prevent its deletion.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the CDS view may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion.
  
  
  Active Objects: If there are active objects (like active transport requests) that reference the CDS view, the deletion may fail.
  
  
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues in the database or the SAP system that prevent the deletion.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view is part of a transport request that is currently in process, it may not be possible to delete it.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Use transaction code SE11 or SE80 to check if the CDS view is being used in other objects. If it is, you will need to remove those dependencies before attempting to delete the view.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete the CDS view. You may need to consult with your security team to verify this.
  
  
  Deactivate Objects: If there are active objects referencing the CDS view, consider deactivating them first. This can often resolve the issue.
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: Ensure that there are no active transport requests that include the CDS view. If there are, you may need to wait until they are completed or remove the view from the transport request.
  
  
  System Check: If the issue persists, perform a system check to identify any underlying technical issues. This may involve checking the database logs or consulting with your SAP Basis team.
