Additional Information

Running the Delete Features geoprocessing tool adds the workspace into the existing editing session, which prevents schema modifications on the workspace.

Workaround

Use the 'Single Workspace edit session' setting to be able to edit features in one workspace and run tools updating the data/schema in another workspace without an edit session. Refer to https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/set-edit-session-options.htm and https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/editing/enable-and-disable-editing.htm for more information.
