The error message indicates that the deletion process could not be completed successfully, and the placeholder "&1" usually provides additional information about the specific object or entity that failed to be deleted.
  Possible Causes:
  
  
  Dependencies: The object you are trying to delete may have dependencies or references that prevent its deletion. For example, if there are active processes, configurations, or other objects linked to it, the system will not allow deletion.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion operation.
  
  
  System State: The system or object may be in a state that does not allow deletion, such as being in use or locked.
