  Check Selection Criteria: Review the criteria you are using to select records for deletion. Ensure that they are correct and that you are targeting the right records.

  Check for Previous Deletions: Investigate whether the records have already been deleted by another process or user.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to delete records in the relevant table or application.
