You should always delete tables from a DBC with the DBC open, so it can update its "record-keeping." What you should do now, is open the DBC (MODI DATA) with EXCL on is best.

Then locate the bad table in the DBC, right-click on it, and select Delete. When the messagebox appears, select DELETE. It will give you some message or another, but it will remove it from the DBC. Then do a VALI DATA to make sure all is well...
