  The SAP error message SEU_ADT_DELETE004: Object cannot be deleted without parent typically occurs when you attempt to delete an object in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) that has a dependency on a parent object. This is common in scenarios where the object you are trying to delete is part of a hierarchy or is dependent on another object.

  Dependency on Parent Object: The object you are trying to delete is a child object that cannot exist independently without its parent. For example, if you are trying to delete a method that belongs to a class, you cannot delete the method without first deleting or modifying the class.
  Incorrect Deletion Attempt: You might be trying to delete an object that is not meant to be deleted directly, or you are not following the correct procedure for deletion.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Parent Object: Determine the parent object associated with the object you are trying to delete. This
