  The SAP error message /SMB/BBPRJ_INST205 indicates that a solution cannot be deleted because an activation process for a scoped solution has already started. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Business ByDesign or SAP S/4HANA Cloud, where solutions and their components are managed in a project or solution landscape.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:

  Dependencies: The solution may have dependencies or linked components that are currently being activated or processed.
  System Lock: The system may have a lock in place due to the activation process, which prevents changes to the solution.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Activation Status:

  Review Dependencies:
  
  Check if there are any dependencies or linked components that are preventing the deletion. Ensure that all related components are in a state that allows for deletion.
  
  
  
  System Lock:
  
  If there is a system lock, you may need to contact your SAP Basis team or system administrator to release the lock.
