This error can arise due to various reasons, such as dependencies on other objects, inconsistencies in the data model, or issues with the transport requests.
  Causes:
  
  Dependencies: The update rules may be linked to other objects (like DataSources or InfoObjects) that are still in use or have dependencies that prevent deletion.
  Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the InfoCube or its associated objects, which can lead to errors when attempting to delete update rules.

  Use Transaction RSC1: You can also try to delete the update rules using transaction RSC1 (Update Rules Maintenance) to see if it provides more detailed error messages or allows you to delete them directly.
