  Cause:
  The error arises because the system requires you to specify which InfoCubes you want to delete. If you attempt to execute the deletion process without selecting any InfoCubes, the system will trigger this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Navigate to the InfoCube Deletion Transaction:
  
  Go to the transaction code for deleting InfoCubes, usually RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) or RSD1 (InfoObject Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Select the InfoCubes:
  
  In the appropriate section (usually under the InfoProvider or InfoCubes tab), you need to select the InfoCubes you wish to delete. You can do this by checking the boxes next to the InfoCubes in the list.

  Related Information:
  
  Backup: Before deleting any InfoCubes, it is advisable to back up any necessary data or configurations to prevent data loss.
