How can I delete tables marked 'in use' using phpmyadmin

Question

As in title. When I try to drop these tables I see something like this:

1051: Unknown table 'urls_count'

Tables are marked as 'in use':

I have checked that no application is using these table, as this is new database on my server and is not connected anywhere. Also there are no dependencies between these tables. I tried to repair these tables, optimize them, check them, and whatever actions I can run, even if it seems bit awkward, but I still cant get rid of them.

How can I delete them?

If you have shell access, try this;

cd /var/lib/mysql/DATABASE (where DATABASE is the one you're trying to fix)

myisamchk --safe-recover TABLE (where TABLE is the table you are tring to fix)

This will will repair the table in safemode, and SHOULD result in success.
