  Causes:
  
  User Authorization Issues: The user attempting to perform the deletion may not have the necessary permissions to delete the object.

  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete the object. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify and adjust permissions.
  Release Locks: If the object is locked, identify the user or process that is holding the lock and either wait for it to be released or ask the user to release it.
  Review Dependencies: Check if the object has any dependencies that need to be addressed before deletion. This may involve deleting or modifying related objects first.
  System Check: Perform a system check to identify any underlying issues. This may involve checking logs or running consistency checks.
  Retry Deletion: If the deletion was canceled by the user, simply retry the deletion process after ensuring that all conditions are met.
