  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues in the BW system that are causing the deletion to fail.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: 
  
  Use transaction RSA1 to check for any dependencies related to the Multiprovider. Ensure that there are no active queries or InfoProviders that depend on it.
