Maybe this table is the referring one in a foreign key
relationship?

Triggers/foreign keys are the only things that can cause the
above error message. It is a requirement of the SQL99 specs
that one and the same row, that is part of referential
integrity constraints or triggers, cannot be touched twice
during a transaction.

So if you did (in the same transaction)

UPDATE "22" SET "22 A)" = 2.2 WHERE id = 36;

then the above DELETE might be forbidden as of the specs.
