Distribution agent job fails with below error message for Transactional replication.
Cannot drop the table 'dbo.XYZ' because it is being used for replication.

Usually it's because the table is already part of an existing publication.
Or you restored the subscriber that was part of another replication.

There can be dozens of different things as it depends on what you are doing/changing, how that table is used, etc. etc.
If you are adding or dropping articles, refer to this link:

If you are changing properties for publications or articles, refer to this link:

If you are making schema changes, refer to this article:

If you are totally redoing a publication, drop the existing and then create the new publication. To drop the existing, refer to this article:
