  Check Dependencies: Before attempting to delete the condition table, check for any existing condition records that reference it. You can do this by using transaction codes like VK13 (Display Condition) to see if there are any active records.

  Review Transport Request: Ensure that the transport request is properly released and not locked. You can check the status of the transport request using transaction SE09 or SE10.
