When I try to delete a feature, appears this message

Delete Selected Features failed.
The selection contains no editable features. - No edits producing database changes were found.

Are there currently multiple users of the data in the database?

No, but it did solve the problem, the feature class was missing a projection. I solved it with "define projection" after so much trying. In any case, the writing should have been more specific about the problem.

But thanks

I have excatly same case and solution was same. My case was CAD based DWG that has been imported to local file geodatabase and though right coordinate numbers it was missing projection definition. So data looked OK on map but was truly missing projection. 

The symptom in my case was that in attribute table Delete Features was grayed out but you could do feature deletion in Pro main toolbar with this excact error message.

So conclution here too is that in certain cases where data has no projection information delete features might be grayed out in attribute table and deleting selected features is impossible. And even in local file geodatabase where typically this kind of issues does not exist at all.
