  Technical Issues: There could be technical issues or inconsistencies in the system that are preventing the deletion.
  
  
  Solutions:

  Remove Dependencies: If there are dependent objects, you will need to remove or modify them before you can delete the DataSource.
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: Ensure that the DataSource is not part of any open transport requests. If it is, you may need to release or remove it from the transport request.
