  Change Status: If the object is in a status that prevents deletion, consider changing its status to one that allows deletion, if applicable.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific module you are working with. This may provide insights into why the deletion is restricted.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser) to investigate the underlying tables and relationships.
