  Delete the Query:

  Check for Other Dependencies:
  
  If the error persists, double-check for any other dependencies that may not have been identified initially.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the dependencies or how to proceed, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator for guidance.
