    Do you have full control permission on this list? Are you sure there are no items and list is empty? Also try deleting the items for this list from recycle bin and then try deleting this list. May 26, 2020 at 9:00

    This is strange. Never faced similar issue before. Have you tried it deleting using PowerShell? Try this. May 26, 2020 at 9:34

Try to delete the list through PowerShell.

$SiteURL = "site collection URL"
$ListName ="list name"

Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SiteURL -Credentials (Get-Credential)

If(Get-PnPList -Identity $ListName)
{
  Remove-PnPList -Identity $ListName -Force
  Write-host -f Green "List '$ListName' Deleted Successfully!"
}
Else
{
  Write-host -f Yellow "Could not find List '$ListName'"
}
