  Unlock the Operation: If the operation is locked, check if another user is currently editing it. You may need to wait until the lock is released or contact the user to coordinate.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like C223 for changing sequences) to navigate to the correct area in SAP and attempt the deletion again.
