ur dropping the user account whose table has been having references to those tables which has been stored in other user account so first drop all the foriegn keys of tables then drop the user this will work

It is possible that this is due to bug 1055420 where after a session inserting into a global temporary table is killed, another session is unable to drop the global temporary table and encounters ORA-14452.

The bug is fixed in Oracle9i, Release 2. Restarting the database should clear it up and is the workaround.

I forgot to mention:

you can rename the table if you do not want to restart now and it is in the way. However this will not allow dropping of the user (you'll get the same error on the renamed table)
