  The SAP error message /IWPGW/PGW_CONFIG010 Context service &1/&2 could not be deleted typically occurs in the context of the SAP Gateway framework, particularly when trying to delete a context service that is either in use or has dependencies that prevent its deletion.
  Cause:
  
  Dependencies: The context service you are trying to delete may be linked to other services or objects that are still in use.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary permissions to delete the context service.
  Service Activation: The service might be active or registered in the system, which can prevent deletion.
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues or inconsistencies in the system that are causing the deletion to fail.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Before attempting to delete the context service, check if there are any dependent services or objects. You can use transaction codes like /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE to manage services and check their status.
  Deactivate the Service: If the service is active, deactivate it first. You can do this in the SAP Gateway Service Maintenance transaction.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user attempting to delete the service has the necessary authorizations. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  Use Transaction Codes: Use transaction /IWFND/ERROR_LOG to check for any related error logs that might provide more context on why the deletion failed.
  System Consistency Check: If you suspect a technical issue, consider running consistency checks or consulting with your SAP Basis team to ensure the system is functioning correctly.
