This error indicates that there is an active or in-use sample application that is preventing the deletion of a coverage record.
  Cause:
  
  Active Sample Application: The primary cause of this error is that there is a sample application currently in use that is linked to the coverage you are trying to delete. The system does not allow the deletion of coverage if it is associated with an active sample application.

  Check for any active sample applications that are linked to the coverage you are trying to delete. You may need to navigate through the relevant transaction codes or reports to find this information.
  
  
  
  Deactivate or Remove Sample Applications:
  
  If you find that there are active sample applications, you will need to either deactivate them or remove their association with the coverage. This may involve:
  
  Editing the sample application to remove the link to the coverage.
  Deleting the sample application if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  
  
  Retry Deletion:
  
  Once you have ensured that there are no active sample applications linked to the coverage, attempt to delete the coverage again.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
