This error can occur for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Possible Causes:
  
  Locks on the Table: The table may be locked by another process or transaction, preventing it from being emptied.

  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues with the database or the SAP system itself.

  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the table. If locks are found, identify the process holding the lock and resolve it.
