I need to drop few tables from my database. I am running Oracle 10G. The tables are dropped successfully, however a new table with a name 'BIN$G0Tao9jLTq+n94JPT7fNSA==$0' appears which apparently looks like garbage. This table cannot be dropped. It has the same structure as the deleted table. How to stop oracle to keep table backup like this?

Murad,
Oracle is keeping it so you can rollback to a different state. If you really wanted to, you could disable this, but I wouldn't recommend it. This is a good backup and recovery feature.

This article has some good information. Also, use a search engine to search for "RMAN" or "recovery manager".
