  System Lock: The application might be locked by another process or user, preventing any modifications, including deletion.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the BRF application and identify any dependencies. Ensure that no other applications or configurations are referencing the BRF application you wish to delete. You may need to remove or update these references first.
