  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to follow these steps:

  Use transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator) to check which composite roles include the role you are trying to delete.
  In the PFCG transaction, navigate to the composite roles and check their assigned single roles.

  Save Changes: 
  
  After removing the role from the composite role, save your changes.
