  Verify Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to delete the object. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify and adjust authorizations.
  Check for Technical Issues: Look into the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context on the failure.
