  Consulting with your SAP administrator or functional consultant to understand the limits and how they can be adjusted.
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Samples: If the existing samples are no longer needed, consider deleting or modifying them to free up capacity for new samples.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on managing samples in your version of SAP CRM.
