The "&1" placeholder usually represents the name of the database table or object where the error occurred.
  Causes:
  
  Database Locking Issues: The record you are trying to delete may be locked by another transaction or user.

  Review Foreign Key Constraints: Check if the record you are trying to delete is referenced by other records. You may need to delete or update those records first.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete records from the specified table. You can check this using transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
