  Data Consistency: The system may prevent deletion to maintain data integrity, especially if the records are linked to other objects.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the condition records. If you find locks, you may need to wait for the locks to be released or contact the user who has locked the records.
