HI Aivaras,
Are you trying to delete custom object of any managed package?
Looks like the fields of this object are being referenced in your org which is why you are unable to proceed further.

You can use metadataAPI to retrieve the Apex code  (https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000352004&type=1)from your organization and run a search with those fields for identifying dependency.

If this information helps, please mark the answer as best. Thank you

Hi Swetha,

thanks for your reply!

I actually decided to delete all of the custom fields on the object first and found that some of the fields were referenced in some places. 

Regards,
Aivaras.
