Here’s a breakdown of the components of the error message and potential solutions:
  Cause

  Unlock the Object: If the object is locked, identify the user or process that has locked it and resolve the lock. This may involve contacting the user or checking for background jobs that are using the object.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help resources related to engineering change management for specific guidelines on the deletion process and change statuses.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize relevant transaction codes (like CC01, CC02, CC03 for change management) to manage the change documents and their statuses.
