  Solution:

  Identify Composite Roles:
  
  Use transaction code BP (Business Partner) to access the business partner roles.
  Check the composite roles that include the role you want to delete. You can do this by navigating to the role management section and reviewing the assigned roles.
  
  
  
  Remove Role from Composite Role:
  
  If you find that the role is indeed part of a composite role, you will need to remove it from that composite role first.

  Delete the Role:
  
  Once the role has been removed from all composite roles, you can proceed to delete the role without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that the role is not being used in any other configurations or settings that might prevent its deletion.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that any changes you make are properly transported to the production environment if necessary.
