  The record or table entries that the system tries to delete are locked by another user or process.
  
  
  Referential Integrity Constraints:
  There are dependent records in other tables that prevent deletion due to foreign key constraints.
  
  
  Authorization Issues:
  The user or process attempting the deletion does not have sufficient authorization to delete the records.
  
  
  Technical Database Issues:
  Problems such as database inconsistencies, missing indexes, or corrupted entries.
