  The SAP error message RSL_UI359, which states "Starting request deletion...", typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when there is an issue related to the deletion of requests in the transport management system (TMS) or during the deletion of requests in the change and transport system (CTS).
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete requests.
  Request Status: The request may be in a status that does not allow deletion (e.g., it might be released or already transported).
  System Lock: There may be a lock on the request or the transport directory that prevents deletion.
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues with the transport directory or database inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete transport requests. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  Check Request Status: Verify the status of the transport request. If it is released or already transported, it cannot be deleted. You may need to revert or manage the request differently.
  Release Locks: If there are locks on the request, you may need to wait for them to be released or contact your Basis team to resolve any locks.
  Use Transaction SE01/SE09: Use transaction SE01 or SE09 to manage transport requests. You can check the status and try to delete the request from there.
  Check Transport Directory: Ensure that the transport directory is correctly configured and accessible. You may need to check the transport configuration in transaction STMS.
