  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion. If not, contact your security administrator to obtain the required permissions.
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction or program for the deletion process. Sometimes, using the wrong transaction can lead to errors.
