  WSPT029 Error deleting entry &: &.
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when SAP tries to delete an entry (such as a work process trace entry, a spool request, or a related object) but fails. The placeholders & indicate that the system would normally display the specific entry or object ID and possibly an error detail, but in your message, these are generic.

  The entry is locked or currently in use by another process.
  Insufficient authorizations to delete the entry.
  Database inconsistencies or locks preventing deletion.
  The object is referenced elsewhere and cannot be deleted due to referential integrity.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Specific Entry:
  
  Identify the exact entry or object SAP is trying to delete. Look for additional logs or messages that provide the actual values replacing the & placeholders.
