**Step result**: The Provider is deleted successfully.

**Note**: You cannot delete a provider that includes provider dependencies with the other attributes. Only after deleting the dependent categories, you can delete the Provider successfully.

Even after deleting the dependencies, if you cannot delete the Provider, then you must Publish the relevant categories first and then perform the delete operation.
