  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:

  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion. You may need to contact your system administrator to verify your permissions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific object you are trying to delete for any additional constraints or requirements.
