  Cause:

  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete the record. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  Error Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or details that could provide more context on why the deletion failed.
  Manual Deletion: If the record is not being deleted through the standard process, you may need to manually delete it using the appropriate transaction (e.g., PA30 for infotypes).
