Looks like you need to grant yourself usage rights on the schema
"MySchema".

Can't tell whether you forgot to schema-qualify the name or whether
you forgot to quote it to protect the mixed case, but something
along the lines of
    drop table "MySchema"."Foo";
is what you would need.  Note that that will also fail unless you've
fixed the permissions problem for MySchema, though.

Presumably, you created it.
