A table `logs/#sql-ib203` appeared after a MySQL crash
the #sql-ib<tableID> tables are temporarily created during an ALTER TABLE operation for recovery purposes. Apparently these temporary tables might stay in certain circumstances even after recovery is completed.
If you already tried enclosing the table name in backticks (DROP TABLE `#sql-ib203`) and using the DROP TEMPORARY TABLE syntax without success, copying the table along with all its data and dropping the original table afterwards or running `mysqldump database tablename > dump.sql && mysql < dump.sql` for a backup/restore operation at least will help the problem of being unable to run ALTER TABLE commands for the affected main table.
