  Causes:
  
  Active Simulation: The simulation DTP might still be active or in use, preventing its deletion.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies on the simulation DTP from other processes or objects, such as InfoPackages or transformations.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the simulation DTP.

  Solutions:
  
  Check Active Status: Ensure that the simulation DTP is not currently active. If it is, deactivate it before attempting to delete.
