Error "Unable to delete table GenericData"

Hello,
I'm getting this error in TMC that happens very often:

tBigQueryBulkExec_2 Unable to delete table GenericData{classInfo=[datasetId, projectId, tableId], {datasetId=TMP, projectId=.X, tableId=table}}
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to delete table GenericData{classInfo=[datasetId, projectId, tableId], {datasetId=TMP, projectId=X, tableId=table}}

It occurs in the tBigQueryBulkExec component, and I don't know if anyone else has experienced it and could help me with what they did to fix it or why this problem occurs. The thing is, if I resubmit the job, it no longer gives the error.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

The error “Unable to delete table GenericData” indicates that the object cannot be removed because it is still in use, referenced, or restricted by permissions.

This typically occurs when:

The table is referenced by another process, job, or catalog object.

The user executing the operation does not have sufficient DELETE/DROP privileges.

The table has already been removed externally, leaving a stale reference.

Recommended:

Verify that the table exists and is not locked or in use.

Check that the Talend connection user has the required permissions to delete the object.

Remove any dependent references before retrying the deletion.

Refresh metadata if the object was deleted outside Talend.

This is expected behavior when dependencies or permission constraints prevent safe deletion.

 

Thanks,
