I'm guessing this is a family tree programme problem.

What programme are you using?

If you have the person linked to parents you have to unlink him or her first, then you can delete them.

Unlink the person ( I assume "4 M" is a person?) from family.
(Edit, Unlink, Unlink From Parents)

Unlink the person from spouse.
(Edit, Unlink, Unlink From Spouse)

Then Delete the person
