Error: You cannot delete "[field label]" for the following reasons: This field is used in the following report(s): [Report View name]

Root Cause:

The error message can also refer to report views.

Solution:

The user would need to first delete the column or filter referencing the field to be deleted in the Report View mentioned in the error by going to Admin -> Configuration -> Report Views and finding the Report View that is using the field.
Once the reference is cleared, the user should be able to delete the field from the Document Type configuration.
