This message indicates that the system did not find any entries that matched the criteria for deletion, hence no entries were deleted.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Matching Entries: The most common cause is that there are no workflow trace entries that meet the specified criteria for deletion. This could be due to:
  
  The entries have already been deleted.
  The criteria used for deletion (such as date range, user, or workflow ID) do not match any existing entries.
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to delete the entries, leading to the perception that no entries were deleted.

  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete workflow trace entries. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify your permissions.
  
  
  System Logs: Check system logs or workflow logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about why the deletion did not occur.
