# resource_in_use

**HTTP status:** 409 (Conflict)

**Title:** Resource in use

## Cause

Something still depends on this object, for example a contact with open cases or a pipeline with a case in it, so it cannot be deleted. The `detail` names what depends on it.

## How to fix it

Remove or close what depends on the object (the detail names it), then delete it again.

Set the parameter named below and send the request again.

Every error carries `requestId` and the `Request-Id` header. Send it when you write to support.
