Before you delete the resource, you must delete references to it. Usually I get this message when there are still bindings. You can choose your resource with a checkbox that in the left, then choose Bindigs and delete those.

In addition to bindings if there's an MPR or Set that references this resource that will cause this too. Delete or modify the MPRs and Sets so they don't reference the resource then delete the bindings then the resource. Note that if you've instantiated the resource then you will not be able to delete it even after following our advice.
