This is called the recyclebin.

You dropped a table, and just in case this was an accident, we didnt *really* drop it, we just renamed it. (Similar to when you delete files on the PC and you put them in the Recycle Bin, or Trash).

If you want to empty the recycle bin you can do:

SQL> purge recyclebin

or if you want drop something without it even going to the recyclebin, then you can do:

SQL> drop table MY_TABLE purge

when you issue the drop command.

Hope this helps.
