droping a directory gives an ora-04043


17:07:10 SQL> show user;
USER is "SYS"
17:07:17 SQL> select * from dba_directories;

17:07:21 SQL> drop directory mondir;
drop directory mondir
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-04043: object MONDIR does not exist


I Also tried with uppercase and quoted string without success.
Sys user has the following sys privs:
GRANT CREATE ANY DIRECTORY TO "SYS" WITH ADMIN OPTION;
GRANT DROP ANY DIRECTORY TO "SYS" WITH ADMIN OPTION;

Thanks for your help.
