  6. An Error of the current namespace is used in a service or command in a different namespace.
  7. In a different namespace, a Service, Command uses as input/output/payload an entity of the current namespace

You will need to confirm the action before the selected namespace is permanately deleted.

Attention: You can only delete a namespace if that artifacts that belong to the namespace are not in use.
