This error indicates that there was an issue when attempting to delete data from a specific InfoProvider, which could be a DataStore Object (DSO), InfoCube, or other data structures.
  Causes:
  
  Data Locking: The data you are trying to delete may be locked by another process or user. This can happen if there are ongoing data loads or if another transaction is accessing the same data.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to delete data from the specified InfoProvider.

  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as database connectivity problems or issues with the InfoProvider itself.

  Check Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the data. If locks are found, you may need to wait for the other processes to complete or resolve the locks.

  Check Dependencies: Investigate if there are any active queries, reports, or processes that depend on the data you are trying to delete. You may need to deactivate or adjust these dependencies before proceeding with the deletion.
  Technical Troubleshooting: If the issue persists, check for any technical errors in the system logs (transaction SLG1) or consult with your SAP Basis team to investigate any underlying database or system issues.
