  Cause:
  The error arises because the calculation results associated with the scenario you are attempting to delete are still in use or referenced by a deviation.

  Modify the deviation to remove the reference to the calculation scenario you want to delete.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other dependencies or references to the calculation scenario in other parts of the system.
