This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to delete a table, view, or other database objects that have dependencies.
  Cause:
  The error message indicates that the deletion of secondary objects (like indexes, foreign keys, or other dependent objects) is not allowed because they are still in use or referenced by other objects. This is a safeguard to prevent accidental loss of data integrity or functionality in the system.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:

  Re-attempt Deletion: Once all dependencies have been resolved, you can attempt to delete the primary object again.
  
  
  Transport Requests: If you are working in a development environment and plan to transport changes to production, ensure that all changes are included in the transport request.
  
  
  Check for Active Locks: Ensure that there are no active locks on the objects you are trying to delete. You can check for locks using transaction code SM12.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the dependencies or the impact of deleting certain objects, consult the SAP documentation or seek advice from a more experienced colleague or SAP consultant.
