This error indicates that the system is unable to delete a specified function module, which can be due to several reasons.
  Causes:
  
  Dependencies: The function module may be in use or have dependencies with other objects (like programs, function groups, or other function modules) that prevent its deletion.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the function module.
  Transport Issues: If the function module is part of a transport request that is currently being processed or has not been released, it may not be deletable.

  Check Dependencies: Use transaction SE37 (Function Builder) to check if the function module is being used in other programs or function modules. If it is, you will need to remove those dependencies first.

  Unlock the Object: If the function module is locked, you can check the lock status using transaction SM12. If necessary, you can unlock it (with caution) if you have the appropriate authorizations.
  System Check: Perform a system check for any inconsistencies or errors that might be affecting the deletion process. You can use transaction SE11 or SE14 to check for database inconsistencies.
