Reason for the Error

The backup piece is currently in use by another BACKUP, RESTORE or DELETE operation.

Use LIST to determine if backup has been deleted. If not deleted, then check if any process is hung while accessing the piece and terminate them before retrying DELETE. If using SBT device, then check Media Manager as well. Alternatively, consider the command DELETE FORCE.
