Hello,

I'm running version 8.4.1 and  have a table that appears on listing ( when i 
run \l ) but i can't drop it. Example:

postgres=# \l
                                   List of databases
    Name    |  Owner   | Encoding |  Collation  |    Ctype    |   Access 
privileges
-----------+----------+----------+-------------+-------------+-----------------------
   skynet    | postgres | UTF8     | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 |
  t1        | postgres | UTF8     | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 |
  template0 | postgres | UTF8     | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | =c/postgres
                                                              : 
postgres=CTc/postgres
  template1 | postgres | UTF8     | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | =c/postgres
                                                              : 
postgres=CTc/postgres

postgres=# drop database skynet;
ERROR:  database "skynet" does not exist

I intentionally removed other databases name.

Also, i verified that i can run CREATE DATABASE skynet having two databases 
with the same name.

Any ideas of what causes this problem?

You have a space at the beginning of the name. Try:

drop database " skynet";
