  Causes:

  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as database inconsistencies or problems with the data model.
  Incorrect Object Reference: The extract identifier (&1) may not be valid or may refer to an object that does not exist.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the extract. If there are locks, you may need to wait for them to be released or contact the user who has locked the object.

  Correct Object Reference: Double-check the extract identifier you are trying to delete. Ensure that it is correct and corresponds to an existing extract.
