These tables might have been created by some application for repository purpose.

you can drop these tables by having the table names within quotes!!!

Dear Sir/Madam
You can drop them from recyclebin.

sql>show recyclebin;
you can find droped tables
and you can use
sql>purge recyclebin;
all droped tables will remove and you can see result by
sql>select * from tab;

Tip:
sql>drop table table_name purge;
For bypassing recyclebin

Sincerely
Kourosh Vakhshouri
