How long should it take to DROP A TABLE?

[tonyredd1]

I am relatively new to MySQL. I created a table and started inserting data into the table from another table.

There are 20 million records with 7 fields in the source table.

After 6 hours, I stopped the query.

Now, I am trying to DROP the TABLE I created ( the recipient of the Insert data), but nothing is happening.

I have waited an hour, but it seems to be stuck.

my gut feeling is that the table is corrupt.

I want to drop the table and start over.

any suggestions?
