Sure it does. I speculate that you might be running into permissions
or case-folding issues. What error message are you getting exactly?

None. The sequence of cmds are:
$ psql -h remotehost -d myuser -U myuser -W
password:
myuser=# \dt myschema.*
List of relations
Schema | Name | Type | Owner
----------+---------+-------+--------
myschema | mytable | table | myuser
(1 row)
myuser-# drop table myschema.mytable
myuser-# \dt myschema.*
List of relations
Schema | Name | Type | Owner
----------+---------+-------+--------
myschema | mytable | table | myuser
(1 row)
myuser-# DROP TABLE myschema.mytable
myuser-# \dt myschema.*
List of relations
Schema | Name | Type | Owner
----------+---------+-------+--------
myschema | mytable | table | myuser
(1 row)
myschema.mytable has to dependecies, I just created it for test
purpose with one empty column! What am I doing wrong?

You seem to have forgotten to enter a semicolon to terminate the
SQL command ...
