  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorizations to delete the specified folder. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in the SAP system.
  Folder Ownership: The folder may be owned by another user or may have restrictions that prevent deletion by users who are not the owner.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check for missing authorizations.

  Review DMS Configuration:
  
  Consult with your SAP Basis or DMS administrator to review any specific configurations that might be affecting folder deletion rights.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes:
  
  Use transaction CV01N to check the document and folder structure and ensure that the folder is not locked or in a state that prevents deletion.
