Additional Information

Both file geodatabases and enterprise geodatabases now correctly return a geoprocessing error message for datasets that require editing. Truncating datasets is not allowed, as it breaks the expectations (such as orphaned attachments or related features).

Workaround

DeleteRows can be used on classes that require an edit session and therefore cannot be utilized with Truncate. For more information, refer to the documentation: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/tool-errors-and-warnings/160001-170000/tool-errors-and-warnings-160576-160600-160592.htm
