  Causes:
  
  Active Usage: The interface you are trying to delete is currently being used in one or more applications or processes.
  Dependencies: There may be other objects (like function modules, classes, or programs) that depend on the interface, preventing its deletion.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the interface may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Usage:

  You can also use the "Where-Used List" feature to identify dependencies.

  Unlock the Interface: 
  
  If the interface is locked, you can check the lock entries using transaction code SM12. If you find a lock that is no longer needed, you can delete it (ensure you have the proper authorizations to do so).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific interface for any additional context or specific instructions.
