ERROR_IPSEC_IKE_PROCESS_ERR_DELETE

ERROR_IPSEC_IKE_PROCESS_ERR_DELETE means a peer sent a delete payload that Windows could not process. Delete messages are used during SA teardown and rekeying, so this can appear during a tunnel transition rather than initial setup.

What to check

Check whether the failure occurs during rekey, disconnect, or policy refresh rather than initial negotiation.
Compare SA lifetimes and rekey behavior on both peers.
Capture the delete message to determine which SA identifiers the peer attempted to remove.
