Then (backup first!) try validating the database. It should complain that the table is missing, and offer to remove references to it. Mmmm... maybe, haven't had such a situation in years.

If that fails, open the dbc as a table, find your missing table's record, delete any records that have its PK as a parent key, then delete that record too, pack the dbc, and try validating again. If it's mentioned anywhere in the RI code... well, you'll have to edit that manually. Any persistent relations where it was involved should just be deleted.
