You are specifically asking for multiple rows from emp given that there is
more than one SAL value that meets that criteria:
SQL> select max(sal) from emp group by sal having count(*) > 1;
MAX(SAL)

1250

Michael is correct -- you need to change the '=' to 'in':
SQL> delete from emp
2 where sal=(select max(sal) from emp
3 group by sal
4 having count(empno||ename)>1);
where sal=(select max(sal) from emp
*
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row
SQL>
SQL> delete from emp
2 where sal in (select max(sal) from emp
3 group by sal
4 having count(empno||ename)>1);
4 rows deleted.
