  Causes:
  
  Object in Use: The object you are trying to delete is currently being used or is locked by another process or user.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the object may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion.

  Use Transaction Codes: Use relevant transaction codes (like SE01 for transport requests, SM37 for job management) to check the status and details of the object.
